AUSTIN — A fire that broke out Sunday morning at an Austin home displaced seven residents, fire officials said.

The fire started about 9:55 a.m. in the 4900 block of West Fulton Street, according to the Chicago Fire Department's official Twitter account.

Eventually three people were taken to nearby hospitals, two in "yellow" condition (moderate to severe injuries but not life-threatening) and one in "green" condition (what some refer to as "walking wounded").

One other person declined treatment, fire officials said.

The fire was in the first floor and basement, and two adults were rescued from the first floor, fire officials said.
