CHICAGO (CBS) — Firefighters are trying to contain brush fires that are burning dangerously close to homes in southwest suburban Alsip.
The fire started late Tuesday morning in a wooded area along railroad tracks in Alsip between 115th and 127th streets.
Firefighters have been trying to prevent the flames from reaching nearby homes. Officials have blocked off 123rd Street between Kostner and Pulaski.
Nearby Marist High School notified parents it was aware of the fires, which were about a mile away from the school, and said students are safe.
