A brush fire spread through junkyard piles, a field and a building Sunday afternoon in south suburban Harvey.

The fire broke out in a brush pile on vacant property about 3:30 p.m. near the intersection of 152nd Street and Commercial Avenue, according to the Harvey Fire Department.

The fire then spread to a building used as a commercial garage. No one was in the building at the time, officials said.

The fire was put out about 5:05 p.m. and no injuries were reported.
