Sauk Village, IL – Firefighters from Sauk Village and several neighboring departments were dispatched early Monday morning after smoke was reported inside a commercial building.
According to the Sauk Village Fire Department, crews responded around 6:00 a.m. to a fire alarm at a commercial/industrial structure, joined by departments from Ford Heights, Crete, and Dyer.
