Fire photographer Tim Olk shared some photos of Chicago firefighters responding to the scene of a wind-whipped fire on 89th and Commercial.

Companies dealt with heavy fire in a two-story ordinary storefront on the first floor with apartments above. The fire communicated to a one-story ordinary restaurant. Both buildings had heavy fire throughout and through the roof. Very high winds complicated operations for Chicago fire crews on scene.
