Hundreds of firefighters battled a fire on Dec. 10 in Chicago’s West Side that engulfed an auto parts warehouse.
Crews were called to flames shooting through the roof of Best Value Autobody Supply Inc., Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Merritt said.
“It’s fully engulfed. (The damage) is extensive,” Merritt said on Dec. 10.
More than 250 firefighters and 90 engines and trucks responded to the fire, which was reported at 8:46 a.m. and was considered a hazardous materials incident due to the material inside the building, Merritt said.
The warehouse held more than 100,000 auto parts, its website said, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The building most likely will be demolished, Merritt said.
About 50 people were said to have been in the building when the fire broke out but no injuries have been reported.
