The cause of a massive Schaumburg, IL fire on West Lunt Avenue has been determined, investigators said.
It took about two-and-a-half hours to get the fire under control after it broke out at around 6:30 p.m. in the building in an industrial area.Part of the problem for firefighters was the walls in the structure collapsed, very quickly limiting their abilities. Another issue was the building layout.
"The building is separated into many different compartments so we had a lot of access issues to get to the fire from the front end or the back," said Gus Tsoulos, with the Schaumburg Fire Department.The remaining structure was demolished after fire crews determined it was necessary to extinguish pockets of fire discovered amid the debris.Copyright © 2023 WLS-TV.
