CHICAGO (WLS) -- Huge flames erupted Monday night in a pallet yard in Little Village.

Chicago fire crews responded about 7:45 p.m. to the area of 25th and Rockwell streets to find a large number of pallets on fire.

The wind made battling the fire more difficult, CFD tweeted.

Foam was used to help choke off the oxygen to the stacks of pallets that were on fire.
