Firefighters respond to 12 trash bin fires in 4 hours on North Side

Chicago firefighters were called to the scene of a dozen separate trash bin fires in the North Center and Lakeview neighborhoods on the North Side this morning.

No injuries were reported in the fires, which occurred across the two neighborhoods between 11 p.m. Tuesday and 2:50 a.m. today, according to the Chicago Fire Department.

Several of the fires were within a block or two of one another. A Fire Department spokesman said it appeared someone had set the fires and department's Office of Fire Investigation was called in.
