Chopper 2 was over the scene where smoke was visible.
By 10 p.m., the gas had finally been shut off at the scene. But the wrecked car that sparked the fire was still lodged in the building.Earlier, people watched as a mix of orange and green flames were seen shooting from the bank.
"It's going good, because that gas line was severed by the traffic crash," said Frank Giammarese, director of public safety for the Village of Bloomingdale."She was using the drive-through, and it sounds like she was starting to exit - and for some reason, the brakes didn't work, or inadvertently hit the wrong pedal," Giammarese said.
Meanwhile underground, Nicor workers raced to dig and cut off the gas line that fed the fire for most of the night.
