Chicago firefighters battled two second alarm (2-11) fires on the city's Southside on Thanksgiving.
Fire crews were called to the 2500 block of West Cermak Road in Little Village around 1 p.m. for a fire in a strip mall.
Officials said the fire started in a dollar store (see video below) and spread to adjacent businesses, requiring an 2-11 alarm being called.
Two aerial platforms and a Snorkel squad were used to contain the blaze.
The second 2-11 fire (see video above) was reported at Renewal Life Church at West 59th Street and South Emerald Avenue in the Englewood neighborhood.
The church was built in the late 1800s.
As firefighters used a defensive attack on the blaze, the center of the church collapsed, bringing most of the structure down.
