Chicago — a major fire, the building began to crumble

Today, June 1, morning fire Chicago extinguished the fire that raged in a furniture store located near Milwaukee and Central Park avenues. The flames flared up very quickly, and a huge column of smoke was visible for several blocks.

As reported by the fire Department of Chicago, the fire started before the store opening, so the room was empty. In the fighting was attended by 125 firefighters, two fire-fighting helicopters. Nearby streets were closed, and the Chicago Department of transportation also for a time changed the route of bus No. 56to patrol around the burning building.

About the cause of the fire yet. According to eyewitnesses, the building collapsed roof, and the brick wall of the building cracks.
