An 5-11 alarm fire has engulfed two warehouse buildings, causing part of one to collapse, in the Bridgeport neighborhood Tuesday night.
A four-story building caught fire after 9 p.m. and then jumped to another building, according to the Chicago Fire Department. Extra alarms, bringing more fire equipment, firefighters and paramedics were called shortly after firefighters arrived.
The south wall of one of the buildings collapsed, according to authorities, and there is “extreme fire” throughout the buildings.
About 170 firefighters from 50 fire department companies responded to the fire.
