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

Excerpts from whig.com:
It took nearly an hour for firefighters to pull a worker trapped under several feet of debris after a Thursday morning collapse at a vacant, three-story building in the Bronzeville residential district south of downtown.
The worker was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the worker was pronounced dead.

Excerpts from CBSnews.com:
A fire Wednesday at Pier 11 Marina on the city’s Far South Side caused serious damage to at least four boats, and damages will most likely surpass $1.1 million.
It was around 10 a.m. when crews with the Chicago and Dolton fire departments responded to the marina at 826 E. 138th St. – along the Little Calumet River on the southern boundary of the city. Fire crews found three boats on fire.
As firefighters attempted to put out the flames, the fire spread to a fourth boat. The fire was started when a recreational boat owner was attempting to winterize his boat, a process that involves placing a plastic cover over the boat which is sealed in by heat. That owner was using a propane tank – and at some point, his boat caught fire.
Among the casualties was a historic vessel used in tours along the Chicago River that was owned and operated by Chicago First Lady cruises and its sister line, Mercury Cruises.
From ChicagoFDMedia on Twitter:
Marina fire 824 East 138. Two boats. Companies have been pouring water for hours. Dolton responded first realized it’s Chicago and called CFD but stayed on scene with aerial unit to help pour on water. Fire may have started from winter sealing mishap
