A building on Chicago's Southwest Side that contains a fire extinguisher
manufacturing business went up in flames just after 9:30pm on Thursday
and was quickly engulfed.
A portion of the building collapsed under the intense flames. The fire
ultimately elevated to three alarms, requiring the help of 156
firefighters and 26 pieces of equipment.
A HazMat response was called because of the materials used to make fire extinguishers. A fire official said getting enough water to the structure proved difficult.
"We had one engine feed another engine to another engine until we got water on the fire," said 1st Deputy Fire Commissioner Charles Stewart III. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
