The Central Stickney Fire Protection District was assisted by several neighboring fire departments yesterday afternoon fighting a large fire in a storage yard. The fire produced heavy smoke which could be seen for many miles. WGN has an article with a video HERE and the Chicago Tribune has an article with a video HERE. Tim Olk went to the fire and submitted several images. The fire was at 6200 W. 51st Street.
