Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Police in Rockdale shared bodycam video of a massive fire that destroyed most of the Longhorn Trucking facility last Friday.

Thick smoke can be seen and explosions can be heard in the background. The blaze engulfed a warehouse and a number of semi trucks parked around the buildings. The fire appeared to be largely contained and extinguished shortly after 5:30 p.m., though firefighters remained on scene fighting hotspots.

The cause of the blaze was still unknown Wednesday.

Excerpts from nbcchicago.com:

Firefighters responded to 132 S. Harris Dr. in Rockdale before 4 p.m. on Friday for a fire. The building houses Polar Service Center, a commercial parts and repair and facility. More than 100 semis were on the property at the time, many of them catching fire.

When Rockdale first responders police officers and firefighters arrived on scene, a portion of the building was already engulfed in flames, and they entered the building and rescued those still inside.

The official cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, but authorities said a semi parked near the building caught fire and eventually the flames spread to the building.
