200 firefighters battle St. Louis warehouse blaze

A big fire started in five empty warehouses in St. Louis on Friday.

The fire is very large and dangerous, with flames reaching up to 300 feet tall.

Around 200 firefighters are working to put it out.

The fire started near 2nd Street and Gratiot.

The cause of the fire is not yet known, but there might be a connection to electrical problems in the area.

The wind is making the fire worse by spreading hot pieces and causing nearby electric lines and railroad tracks to catch fire.

So far, no one has been hurt, but some people might be without electricity because of the fire.

The fire department will work to fix the damaged lines once the fire is more under control.
