CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) — Fire crews were battling a large fire Monday at a Chicago Heights warehouse that produced a towering smoke plume visible for miles, a city spokesman said.
City spokesman David Ormsby said the Morgan Li warehouse was fully engulfed in flames, and nearby roads were closed as multiple fire departments responded.
No injuries had been reported, Ormsby said.
Aerial television footage showed the fire burning in several spots, producing a pillar of heavy smoke that rose high above the south Chicago suburb as firefighters trained water on the flames.
Ormsby said fire crews were still working Monday morning to bring the fire under control at the warehouse, which he said had furniture and fabrics stored inside.
The fire began about 6:30 a.m.
This remains a developing story.
