The Chicago Fire Department responded to a fire alert on Saturday at an industrial building located at 2823 W. Fulton Street. According to initial reports, a power surge may have caused the building to fill with smoke, prompting emergency crews to arrive on the scene. Firefighters were unable to enter the affected area until ComEd technicians arrived to shut off the electricity, as the source of the issue was believed to be in the electrical room.
A brief article about the incident can be found in *The Chicago Tribune*. Local photographer Tim Olk captured several images from the scene, showing firefighters waiting outside while utility workers worked to secure the site.
The situation remained under control, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the power surge is still under investigation. Local residents were advised to stay clear of the area during the operation.
