Commercial fire in McCook, 1-26-19

    Here's a message from Eric Haak:

    The McCook Fire Department responded to a fire that broke out around 4:00 AM on Saturday, January 26th, at a 100x100-foot semi repair shop located at 5300 Lawndale Avenue. The area is known for having very limited access and few available fire hydrants, which made the response more challenging. To make things even harder, the temperature was hovering around -2 degrees Fahrenheit, adding to the difficulty of the firefighting efforts.

    These photos capture the intensity of the situation and the dedication of the firefighters working through tough conditions. It's clear that this was a difficult call, especially with the cold weather and limited resources. Local crews worked hard to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby structures. Updates are expected as the investigation continues.
