A fire in west-suburban Riverside broke out at an auto body shop near the Burlington Northern tracks.  The extra alarm fire was at 3212 S. Harlem Ave.

The shop was destroyed, according to a report on WBBM radio.

Police have blocked Harlem Avenue between about 31st and Burlington streets, but the Burlington-Northern rail lines that run nearby remained open. But it will be difficult for commuters to get into the Metra station at Harlem Avenue.
