This was about a mile from my house this morning, glad I was off duty at the time. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/375563,semi050807.article
A hellofa lot of smoke though. With the new intermodal facility here, I see stupid stuff all the time, like when I stopped the guy whose brakes were starting on fire. Language barrier. He then got in and drove away while the Fire Dept was looking at the truck.:eek:

Another one Saturday morning early a.m. (1am). I was working this time. About 6 miles from my house. One fatality. Ford Explorer burned beyond recognition. I really hate these kind of calls.

I don't know how well you know the Oak Lawn/Alsip area, but the Fox Lumber on 111th & Cicero went up in a blaze yesterday around 10 am (?) and I went by about 10:30 pm and they were still watering the place down.
