Crews battle four-alarm warehouse fire near Fair Park

DALLAS - Nearly 100 firefighters battled a large warehouse fire near Fair Park Wednesday night.

Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to several 911 calls before 6 p.m. about a large fire at a food distribution warehouse in the 1800 block of Chestnut Street.

The fire quickly grew to four alarms. Firefighters had to pull back after part of the building collapsed.

The warehouse was a popular place for people to shop, including those battling the fire.

"Yeah, I actually shop here. We buy our meat here. It's sad," said DFR Assistant Chief Justin Ball. "They sell Brazilian meat. We buy meat and seafood stuff as well."

Aa handful of people were inside the building when the fire started. Everyone was able to make it out safely.

Because the building was so badly damaged, it's not clear if investigators will be able to get inside to investigate the cause of the fire.
