PROSPECT HEIGHTS, Ill. — There's a major effort underway to help the more than 300 people left homeless following a massive apartment fire in Prospect Heights.

The blaze ripped through three multi-unit buildings in the 800 block of Mcintosh Court on Wednesday. It took 150 firefighters from 50 departments to distinguish the fire, which completely destroyed two buildings and caused significant smoke, fire and water damage in a third. According to a source, authorities are investigating multiple reports that the fire was started by a 13-year-old boy playing with a lighter.

A small fire rekindled Thursday evening, but has since been extinguished.
