A massive warehouse fire in northwest suburban Bartlett continues to burn for a second day Friday morning.
Intense flames engulfed the 250,000 square foot warehouse in the 1200-block of Humbracht Circle in Brewster Creek Business Park, used by a document storage company called Access. Officials said the warehouse was stacked floor to ceiling with boxes of documents, providing ample fuel for the fire.
What workers said began as a few boxes on fire grew into an inferno.
"These walls are collapsing on us," said Bartlett Fire Chief William Gabrenya. "We don't want to get any of the firefighters within that collapse zone, so at this point, we're all aerials operations."
Gabrenya said Friday morning that they anticipate the fire to be a multi-day event.
