VIDEOS: Two people, including a police officer, were injured during a large fire Thursday evening in Joliet. The Joliet Fire Department said at around 2:20 p.m., crews were sent to the 0-100 block of South Eastern Avenue to investigate reports of a structure fire with people possibly trapped inside. Crews arrived at the scene and found heavy smoke coming from a one-story brick commercial building.

The strong fire eventually broke through the roof, fully engulfed the building and caused a partial collapse, according to investigators. SkyCam 9 flew over the building and saw the roof appearing to be completely destroyed as firefighter doused the building with water.

Officials said a person working inside the building suffered burns to their hands and a police officer was also injured. However, it is currently unknown what that injury to the officer is.

The fire department added no one was taken to the hospital as a result of the fire. No other information was released.
