CHICAGO — Firefighters responded to a 3-alarm fire that engulfed a large warehouse Friday morning.
CBS Chicago reported that no injuries were immediately reported, but part of the roof collapsed and heavy flames and smoke poured from the structure.
The Fire Department said the warehouse contains propane tanks, so crews were using a defensive approach to put out the fire, according to the report.
It was unclear if the frigid conditions — with an official temperature of 1 degree below zero, and wind chills of 14 below in Chicago at the time — were affecting firefighting efforts, according to the report.
