A massive fire that broke out Thursday morning at a warehouse in west suburban Bartlett continued to burn Friday afternoon.
Officials said it may be days before firefighters are able to completely extinguish the fire that tore through the massive warehouse.
There is still plenty of smoke and occasionally some flames visible as firefighters perched on aerial ladders continued to pour water on the fire. The fire started just before 10 a.m. Thursday morning in a 250,000 square-foot warehouse that stored documents and records, most of it paper.Not everything burned though. Hundreds of documents could be seen blowing around the field south of the warehouse, many with proprietary information like social security numbers and bank records.
"Once we get these walls down and we can get closer to what's burning in there to help extinguish that and then we can actually get some heavy machinery in there to start pulling that debris out of that building," said Chief Willian Gabrenya, chief of the Bartlett Fire Protection District. "We've got approval to start moving some of that debris into these fields here so we've got fencing coming for that.
Gabrenya said the weather has complicated matters, creating many slick spots and causing firefighters to slip and fall.
