(CBS) – Firefighters were responding Thursday night to an extra-alarm blaze at an industrial building in the Archer Heights neighborhood on the city’s Southwest Side.
The fire erupted 3800 W. 38th St., where officials said fire-suppression equipment was manufactured and stored. A “hazmat” response was declared.
Firefighters initially had difficulty getting water due to a lack of hydrants in the area. Water had to be trucked in.
Firefighters were expected to be on the scene into the early morning Friday.
