The fire was in a single unit on the 15th floor and it was extinguished less than half an hour later, according to fire officials.
Its cause was not known immediately.
Due to street blockage, the CTA’s #36 Broadway buses were temporarily rerouted in both directions via State, Oak and Clark streets, according to an alert from the transit agency. They resume their normal route near State/Chestnut streets, according to the alert, which urged travelers to allow extra travel time.
No further information was immediately available.
