CHICAGO - A fire broke out at a high-rise apartment building Sunday night on Chicago's South Side.

The building is located at 64th and Stoney Island in the city's Woodlawn neighborhood.

The Chicago Fire Department says the flames were contained in a trash chute of the 22-story building, causing smoke to spread to multiple floors.

The fire has since been extinguished. Evacuated residents were offered assistance with a warming bus.

Four people were evaluated by medical professionals at the scene, but they refused to be taken to a hospital.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
