No one was injured when a residential building in Pilsen collapsed after catching fire Wednesday.

Crews responded to the still-and-box alarm at the two-and-a-half story building about 8:15 p.m. in the 1300 block of West 16th Street, Chicago fire officials said. The alarm was upgraded about half an hour later to bring in extra resources as the building was engulfed in flames that spilled into two neighboring buildings.
