Ice Threatens Twice Burnt Chicago Warehouse

The warehouse on Wednesday
Ice is threatening to collapse a building, in Chicago.

On Tuesday, a massive fire broke out inside the abandoned warehouse.

It burned so strongly that nearly a third of Chicago's fire companies were needed, to stop it.

Then Wednesday, the warehouse caught fire again.

Fire fighters again put the blaze out, but that caused another problem.

Chicago has been seeing freezing temperatures, since before the original fire, with wind chills pushing things as low as sixteen below.

After all the water used to put out the fires, the warehouse is now covered with ice, so much of it that it is threatening to collapse the entire building.

Authorities had been trying to investigate the cause of the fire, but that has had to been put on hold due to the instability of the building.
