Blaze at an abandoned building on the former Chanute Air Force Base produced smoke that could be seen for miles.

Chris Milliken, Rantoul village planner, said the building is one of four problem properties with which the village contends.

Charred piles of mattresses, burned brick and busted windows are what's left of a vacant building on the former Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul following a fire on Tuesday.

More than 20 firefighting units were called to the former Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul after a fire started in one of the abandoned buildings.
