Excerpts from fox32chicago.com:
A fire started just before 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Tri-Star Cabinet & Top Co., Inc., which is located at 1000 South Cedar Road in New Lenox.
New Lenox Fire Protection District (NLFPD) firefighters arrived on the scene and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the building. There were about 60–70 employees inside at the time it began. All of them were evacuated safely, and no injuries were reported.
It took firefighters four hours to get the alarm fire under control.

Excerpts from wgntv.com:
Firefighters battled a large fire at an Elgin commercial building Tuesday afternoon in the 1000 block of St. Charles Street at Welch Brothers construction supply.
The company is well known and has been in business in Elgin for 50 years, supplying government agencies and even a plumbing company next door, whose employees saw the fire and the response.
Elgin firefighters were able to contain the fire to one building on the property. Multiple people were inside the building at the time the fire started. They called 911 when they heard explosions and saw smoke.
Most of the Elgin Fire Department plus nine neighboring agencies responded to the scene.
The fire was put out at around 2:30 p.m. No injuries were reported.

Excerpts from cbsnews.com:
An extra-alarm fire was raging in an old and historic textile factory in the Lawndale neighborhood Friday night in the old Western Felt Works building at 4115 W. Ogden Ave., about a block west of Pulaski Road.
The 3-11 alarm fire sent 12 fire engines, four fire trucks, two tower ladders, and other equipment—along with about 125 firefighters.
The Western Felt Works building was one of three Ogden-Keeler industrial buildings on the Endangered List compiled by Preservation Chicago. Western Felt Works was founded in 1899, and Preservation Chicago said its building dates back to 1916.
There was no immediate information on the cause or injuries in the fire.
