Bartlett Firefighters Battle Warehouse Fire For Fourth Day In A Row

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A warehouse fire in northwest suburban Bartlett is still burning for the fourth day in a row, fire officials said Sunday.

The fire started Thursday morning at the Brewster Creek Business Park, and Bartlett Fire Chief William Gabrenya said the operation may take a few more days. Originally fire officials thought they would be able to have the fire out in three days.

Firefighters are supporting a demolition crew, which is removing debris, twisted metal and roof decking. Firefighters will then attempt to reach and extinguish deep-seated fire.

Sunday the fire chief revealed the first firefighters who went into the building Thursday morning were blown off their feet when the building started to collapse around them.

Warming tents have been set up to keep firefighters warm and feed as crews have been working around the clock to control the flames.
