 HARVEY, Ill. (AP) - A fire erupted at an abandoned warehouse and raced through an industrial park Thursday in this Chicago suburb, covering nearly a full square mile before it was contained, officials said.
A pair of firefighters suffered heat exhaustion and were sent to a hospital, according to city spokeswoman Sandra Alvarado.
The blaze was driven by high winds that sent heavy black smoke and hot embers over the area. Flames shot into the air and smoke that blew over residential neighborhoods could be seen from miles away, Alvarado said.
