What is on fire right now in Chicago?

From my Chicago window, I can see a huge plume of smoke rising from, I think, a fire. It looks like it's in Bucktown maybe. Is there any way to find out what's going on? I already tried checking major news sites.
Best answer: There's a few twitter accounts that post events as they're happening.

For the future, generally I find Twitter, and/or Reddit (the subreddit for your city) tend to have information on this kind of situation before the official media do.
