Area fire photographer Tim Olk shared some photos of Chicago firefighters battling a 5-11 alarm fire at a vacant structure in the city’s Little Village section.

According to the Chicago Tribune, there were more than 200 firefighters and emergency workers on the scene, and no reported injuries.

Jeff Lyle, deputy district chief for the Chicago Fire Department, said the building, which has been vacant for about 20 years, appears at one time to have been used as a warehouse.
