In Memory of Kaitlynn Jeffries

5-year-old girl was killed Friday morning, in a house fire in the Englewood neighborhood.

Chicago Fire Department Battalion Chief Thomas Carbonneau said crews received the first call about the fire at 7 a.m. at a two-flat at 58th and May, and firefighters arrived within four minutes, and immediately began a search of the building.
A 5-year-old girl was found dead on a bunk bed in a first-floor bedroom. Relatives identified her as Kaitlynn Jeffries.

“She was deceased, and she was beyond medical help,” Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.

Relatives said Kaitlynn was a kindergartener at Nicholson STEM Academy.
