Firefighters extinguished an extra-alarm blaze Thursday morning at a warehouse in New City on the South Side.
The fire at the Evans Food Group warehouse, at 4118 S. Halsted St., began about 8:30 a.m.
By about 9 a.m., the fire had spread to multiple buildings and was elevated to a three-alarm blaze. Firefighters used a “surround and drown” method, pouring three master streams of water onto the buildings.
“Had to get a lot of water on it,” Chicago Fire Department spokesperson Larry Langford said.
No one was injured.
