The Maywood Fire Department fought a fire early Sunday morning in a vacant three-story building. Companies pulled a Box Alarm as they had heavy fire in the attic and on the top floor at 907 S. 3rd Ave. Both Maywood and Melrose Park’s trucks were working.
Gordon J. Nord., Jr was at the scene and submitted several dramatic images of illustrating the heavy fire and the trucks working.
