An extra-alarm fire tore through a flea market on the West Side on Tuesday, swallowing cars parked on the collapsing roof and sending thick, black smoke through the West Humboldt Park neighborhood.
Arriving firefighters were told at least two people may have been trapped inside the one-story building in the 4500 block of West Haddon Avenue that houses the Buyer’s Flea Market. Firefighters found a woman who said she had been able to escape from a bathroom, officials said. She was checked at the scene and officials reported no injuries.
The fire continued to burn into the afternoon — more than four hours after it was first spotted around 9 a.m. — fueled by the falling cars and the wares of hundreds of vendors, officials said.
