Still & Box Alarm - March 7, 2008, 9:31 AM Chicago, IL This fire was in a 1 story, L-shaped building used as a silk flower distributing warehouse. The fire started in the center of the building and quickly spread throughout the structure. The silk flowers burning produced a very heavy, toxic white smoke which prevented the Chicago firemen from entering the building to fight the fire.
