Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
The Chicago Fire Department battled an extra-alarm fire in a West Side warehouse Tuesday morning in a one-story commercial building in the 4500-block of West Fulton Street.
The fire raged for more than an hour and around 7:45 a.m., CFD said it had been struck.
More than 100 firefighters responded to the fire. No one was inside the warehouse and no injuries were reported.
The building sustained major damage, including the collapse of the roof.
The building’s tenant was on scene Tuesday morning and said the business once inside the warehouse was called American Masonry and Supply.
Fire officials also say the fire was contained to the warehouse itself and never spread to any nearby structures.
The cause of the fire is under investigation
