A Botanical Heights neighborhood warehouse continues to burn Thursday morning. Shortly after 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, firefighters reported a partial collapse of the Park Warehouse Service building in the 3900 block of Park Avenue, where at least 100 firefighters were working to extinguish a five-alarm fire that began more than an hour earlier. A fire department pumper truck was damaged when a portion of the building collapsed. No firefighters were inside the truck when the damaged occurred.
