The Franklin Park Fire Department requested a 2nd Alarm this afternoon for heavy fire in an auto repair business at 3305 Mannheim Road. Companies were forced to make a defensive attack which brought the fire under control within an hour.
This from Josh Boyajian:
I took in Franklin Park’s Fire this afternoon at 3305 Mannheim. Was a small building 50×100 with heavy fire throughout. Here are some of my photos!
The Chicago Tribune has a description of the fire:
A Franklin Park auto body shop had its roof cave in during an extra-alarm fire that brought firefighters from surrounding towns’ departments, including Chicago’s, and caused at least three minor accidents on a nearby overpass this afternoon, authorities said.
The fire at Intent Auto Body, 3305 N. Mannheim Road, started about 12:30 p.m. and was under control about an hour later. At one point, flames leapt several stories in the air from the one-story brick building, distracting several drivers on the nearby Mannheim Road overpass and causing at least three minor accidents, police on the scene said.

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.
