Niles Battalion 2 reported on scene reporting a large bowling alley with apartments or offices in front with heavy smoke showing and asked for a box alarm.

Niles Truck 2 was sent to the roof to vent and engine 6 from glenview was ordered to take a 2 1/2 to the north side of building and try to gain access.

Crews made a fast knock down of this fire. They worked for sometime to clear smoke due to the size of this building.
