The Lockport Township Fire Protection District requested a 2nd Alarm MABAS Box today for a structure fire at a shopping center on Theodore street near Plainfield Road. The fire was in the end unit of a center that is undergoing remodeling. An Eagle Super Market was previously located in this center.
Darien-Woodridge FPD Lt. Jim Skrabel was nearby and submitted a few photos from the scene.
