Has anyone heard about the huge warehouse fire over at Bridgeport a couple of days ago?

More than 200 Chicago firefighters were tasked Tuesday evening with battling a five-alarm blaze at a vacant warehouse in the city's Bridgeport neighborhood -- and, by Wednesday, were left with a stunningly icy aftermath.

The fire at the former Harris Marcus Group building, located at 3757 S. Ashland Ave., was spotted by a fire chief just after 9 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. As of Wednesday morning, firefighters were still working to put out hot spots and flares in the massive blaze that the department is calling the largest fire they've faced "in many years."



It's not so much the fire that is awesome, but the aftermath of the building afterwards.

Due to some of the coldest temperatures the city has seen in two years, the warehouse was largely covered in ice Wednesday morning, turning the building into a massive "ice cube," fire department spokesman Larry Langford told CBS Chicago.

I did it. I was smoking some dope with some guy and the cherry fell out in some old news paper. Sorry ;p
 
Chicago has a rich history of massive devastating fires. Not quite the quantity of Detroitsucks, but the quality is astounding.
 
The origin of the fire is that it was started by a cow kicking over a lantern in the barn owned by Patrick and Catherine O'Leary. Oops wrong fire. lol
