Commercial building fire in Blomingdale, 2-3-23 (more)

Excerpts from wrex.com:

Heavy smoke was visible as firefighters responded to the Chase Bank at 136 E. Lake St. in Bloomingdale on Friday. The first calls to the fire department came in at 5:20 p.m. after a driver slammed into the bank building at 5:05 p.m. – just five minutes after the bank closed for the night. The car ruptured a 2-inch gas line on impact with the building and exploded.

By 10 p.m., the gas had finally been shut off, but the wrecked car that sparked the fire was still lodged in the building. Damage was severe where the car crashed, but also on the opposite side of the bank structure.

No one was injured in the accident.
