VIDEO: A massive warehouse fire in northwest suburban Bartlett continued to burn for a fourth day Sunday. Intense flames engulfed the 250,000 square foot warehouse in the 1200-block of Humbracht Circle in Brewster Creek Business Park, used by a document storage company called Access. Officials said the warehouse was stacked floor to ceiling with boxes of documents, providing ample fuel for the fire. What workers said began as a few boxes on fire grew into an inferno. Gabrenya said Sunday that the operation will take longer than the three days he originally anticipated after. He said Saturday that fighting the fire remains a slow process and the hope is that fire operations will be 100% complete by Monday or Tuesday "The crews stated they were blown off their feet when the first few racks collapsed," Gabrenya said.
