Chicago had a 3-11 Alarm fire this morning in an industrial building in the 3700 block of 38th street. Steve Redick and Tim Olk were both at the scene and will have images to submit. In the mean time, Steve sent in a cellphone shot from the scene.

The Chicago Tribune reports HERE that:
A firefighter and another person were injured when a stubborn extra-alarm fire broke out at a business in the Archer Heights neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
A hazardous materials alert was also issued because propane tanks were thought to be inside San Jose Imports, a one-story commercial building at 3760 W. 38th St. But the tanks contained helium, according to Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.
