Aerial video from NBC Chicago's Sky 5 shows a large plume of thick smoke rising from a building on the far northwest side of the city this afternoon. The building on fire is next door to Everett McKinley Dirksen Elementary School. It was not immediately clear if the school was impacted. #chicago #fire #smoke #chopper #aerialvideo | NBC Chicago
