Chicago firefighters return to the scene of a warehouse house on South Ashland Avenue in Chicago. A fire that smoldered for hours into Wednesday afternoon rekindled Thursday morning, almost a day and a half after prompting the largest fire department response in years. Chicago Fire Department Spokeswoman Meg Ahlheim said the department expects fires of that magnitude to rekindle. "We expected it. We have companies working there again," she said. "We were working there well into yesterday." — Jose M. Osorio, Chicago Tribune, Jan. 24, 2013
