Industrial fire in Illinois prompts evacuations

Officials ordered evacuations Tuesday because of an industrial fire in a town in northern Illinois.

A public information officer for the Mutual Aid Agency in Coal City, said there were no reported injuries related to the fire that was reported in an old paper mill where commercial batteries are now stored. Video from WLS-TV in Chicago showed large plumes of smoke rising from the building and drifting over the town. The cause of the fire isn't known. Earlier this month, a huge fire at a plant in Rockton, about 100 miles northwest of Chicago, kept some people out of their homes for several days.
