BRIDGEPORT — Michelle Kelly doesn't even have a pair of shoes.
Not after fire ripped through the building that houses her apartment — and the Soluri & Sons Italian Deli — at 3549 S. Halsted St. Sunday night.
"I've lost everything," Kelly said. "I'm going to be 65 years old in March, and I have nothing."
Kelly was sitting in her living room Sunday night at when she saw — and smelled — something unusual.
"I saw smoke on the ceiling," Kelly said. On Monday morning, she took account of her things, most of them charred, blackened or totally destroyed.
Around 8:30 p.m., a fire started in the basement, authorities said. The Chicago Fire Department was able to put out the blaze, witnesses said. There were no injuries reported.
Fire Department officials were not immediately available Monday morning to comment on what might have caused the fire.
Owners of Soluri & Sons were not immediately available for comment Monday morning.
