CHICAGO (CBS) -- Firefighters rushed to the Fashion Outlets of Chicago shopping mall in northwest suburban Rosemont on Thursday, after an electric vehicle caught fire in the parking garage.
The fire started around 9:45 a.m. at the parking garage at the mall just off the Tri-State Tollway near Balmoral Avenue.
Rosemont Public Safety Department officials said roads in front of the mall were closed for a time as a result of the fire.
The fire was put out and the vehicle was towed out of the garage by around noon.
Roads around the mall reopened by around 1 p.m., but Level 1 of the garage was closed due to unsafe icy conditions. All other areas of the garage and mall were open.
Officials have not said what caused the fire.
