Difficult terrain was preventing firefighters from reaching the flames, so helicopter units were sent to drop water on the area.
A brush fire Wednesday in northwest Indiana shut down parts of Interstate 80/94 in Gary and prompted nearby evacuations.
Difficult terrain was preventing firefighters from reaching the flames, so helicopter units were sent to drop water on the area, according to Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr.
Evacuations were ordered near 25th Avenue and Clark Road, and traffic was stopped on I-80/94 due to heavy smoke, Martinez said in an emailed audio message.
The blaze was first spotted by an officer at 1:20 p.m.
No injuries have been reported.
Whether you’re a season ticket holder or an every-so-often visitor, attending a live sports game is always a great time. Nothing beats a stadium atmosphere where everyone in the crowd is rooting for the hometown team. The sounds, the smells, and the live-action all combine to add to the experience. Of course, it isn’t a complete experience without all of the delicious stadium food and concessions. And when it comes to tasty food, Chicago stadiums have some of the best around. Between Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, the United Center, and Guaranteed Rate Field, we’ve got you covered with five of the best Chicago stadium foods.

Move over peanuts and cracker jacks, it’s popcorn’s time to shine. Garrett’s Popcorn, one of Chicago’s most famous popcorn makers, has made its way into Wrigley Field. Their popcorn is the perfect stadium food if you’re looking for something light to snack on. You can’t go wrong munching on a bag of their cheese corn and caramel crisp mix which is sure to satisfy your sweet and savory cravings.
If you’re craving a burger during your next visit to the United Center, then you’ll have to try Legacy Burger. Not only do they have some of the best burgers in the stadium, but they also have a variety of non-meat options to satisfy different diets. And don’t even get us started on their boozy, “Not for Kids” shakes. A strawberry and Smirnoff vanilla shake? Sign us up!
When the Bears fail to give you a rush at the game, look to Old Fashioned Donuts to get your blood flowing again. Not only will their donuts satisfy your sweet tooth, but the shop also offers coffee if you need some caffeine to get you through the day. And with the way this Bears team plays, you might just need it. Hopefully, that won’t be the case once more fans are allowed back to Soldier Field.

It’s no secret that Chicago does hotdogs better than anyone else. And when it comes to stadium hotdogs, the Comiskey Dog takes the crown. Sold at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the White Sox, the Comiskey Dog is the textbook Chicago-style hotdog. If you’re really up for it, they do offer the option to order it in a footlong size. However, there’s a good chance the hotdog will break at some point if you take that route. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

I just realized I’ve loved Pallbearer for eight whole years, starting the moment I first heard their debut album, Sorrow and Extinction. Since at least their third full-length, 2017’s Heartless, the best ever doom-metal band in Little Rock, Arkansas, have openly indulged their love of prog and classic rock, and I’ve stayed cool with that.…Read More
