A fire broke out at an abandoned lumber yard in northwest suburban Elgin on Monday afternoon.

Crews responded about 3:30 pm. to the heavily-involved blaze at the lumber storage at 20 Jefferson Ave., according to a statement from the Elgin Fire Department.

It took about half an hour to bring the fire under control, fire officials said. No one was hurt.
