Three women suffered burns, with one being critically injured, in an incident at Navy Pier’s rooftop restaurant on Wednesday night, according to Chicago police.
Authorities, including Chicago police and fire crews, were called to a fire at Offshore Rooftop located in the 1000-block of East Grand Avenue just before 8:30 p.m.
Three women were burned from an “accidental flame” while trying to prepare food at a banquet table, CPD said.
A 25-year-old woman was critically burned and transported to Stroger Hospital, while a 44-year-old woman sustained burns and was taken to the same hospital in good condition. Another woman was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, also in good condition.
Chicago fire crews extinguished the remaining fire.
Maverick Hotels and Restaurants, which oversees the restaurant, expressed their sympathy in a statement, saying, “We hold the three individuals injured last night in our thoughts and are closely monitoring their conditions. As there is an ongoing investigation, specifics cannot be shared at this moment. We appreciate the rapid response from Emergency Medical Services, the Chicago Police Department, management, and nearby guests. Maintaining the safety and well-being of our guests and employees is our utmost priority, and we will continue to evaluate our safety protocols.”
CURRENT UPDATE ON THE FIRE VICTIMS: UPDATE 2026
There are no new public medical or legal developments beyond their transition into long-term medical rehabilitation and active litigation. Public updates on the women have paused as their civil lawsuits proceed through the Cook County court system.
Medical & Recovery Status

- Medical Status: Lisa Segner, 44, was hospitalized at Stroger Hospital immediately following the blast.
- Current Outlook: She was treated for significant burn injuries and later released. Her husband, Philip Segner, has joined her in the legal action, filing a loss of consortium claim due to the severe impact the injuries have had on their daily marriage and life.
-

- Current Outlook: She was treated for less severe, non-life-threatening burns and was discharged shortly after the incident.
