An abandoned roller rink in suburban McHenry caught fire late Thursday evening, causing the once popular establishment to collapse as high winds fueled flames, fire officials said.
The McHenry Township Fire Protection District responded to the scene just before 10:30 p.m. at 914 N. Front St. after being alerted to a building on fire. The flames had already engulfed the old Just for Fun roller rink, as Battaliom Chief David Harwood said strong winds made things worse for firefighters. Don t miss local breaking news and weather!
