Bartlett Warehouse Fire Could Go On Smoldering Into Weekend
BARTLETT, Ill. (CBS) -- A fire at a large industrial warehouse in northwest suburban Bartlett was still burning well over 24 hours later - and could continue smoldering into the weekend.
The fire first broke out at 10 a.m. Thursday at the warehouse on the 1200 block of Humbratch Circle in the Brewster Creek Business Park. Cold temperatures have complicated the job fire crews Friday morning.
The fire had appeared under control at one point, but rekindled later in the day, sending firefighters from the Bartlett Fire Protection District back to the scene in the late afternoon.
Firefighters have powered 5,000 gallons of water a minute into the building while fighting the fire.
The warehouse is in the Brewster Creek Business Park and is called Access storage facility. Bartlett Fire Chief William Gabrenya said the building is a total loss.
The fire has not spread to any neighboring areas.
No injuries have been reported.
