The Central Stickney Fire Protection District received support from multiple nearby fire departments yesterday afternoon as they tackled a major blaze at a storage yard. The fire generated thick, billowing smoke that was visible for miles across the area. WGN has a detailed report with video coverage available HERE, while the Chicago Tribune also published an article with footage HERE. Local photographer Tim Olk was on the scene and captured several powerful images of the incident. The fire occurred at 6200 W. 51st Street, and crews worked diligently to bring it under control.
