More than 200 firefighters battled an early morning fire on Chicago's northwest side. The fire completely took over a warehouse made up of five different buildings, the largest one four stories tall.

Crews worked for hours to put out the fire and had to tap hydrants at another location to bring water to the scene.

Officials worry the building could collapse because of how long it had been burning.
