Firefighters battled a large fire in Chicago Heights on Saturday morning. 

The Chicago Heights Fire Department responded to the fire at an auto salvage lot located at 630 Joe Orr Rd. around 8:30 a.m. 

Fire officials said additional fire crews were called to assist with the response, as burning tires produced excessive smoke.

Smoke billowing from the fire was seen from the South Side of Chicago 

No injuries were reported. 

Fire officials said the fire has since been extinguished, but they will remain at the scene to monitor hot spots. 

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

Joe Orr Road was closed between State Street and Cottage Grove.
