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.

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
As Floridians wake up and have a clearer look at the extent of the damage from Hurricane Milton, help is on the way.
Local crews and volunteers from Illinois are heading to Florida to support Milton relief efforts.
MABAS Illinois crews gathered near I-57 at the Wilmington and Peotone exits before heading south.
The team debriefed before 25 crew members and vehicles dispersed. ComEd also sent 60 underground employees to help repair damage and restore service down south.
Governor JB Pritzker said members of Illinois’ Emergency Management Team are also ready to deploy for clean up as soon as they’re needed.
