No one injured in structure fire at 135th an Harlem, Al-Hayba Hookah Lounge

At 5:06 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, companies of the Orland Fire Protection District and Palos Heights Fire District dispatched in response to a possible structure fire at the Al-Hayba Hookah Lounge, 13500 S Harlem Ave (formerly the Ale House) on the southwest corner. 

Palos Heights FPD arrived on the scene and reported fire showing through a 2nd floor window on the west side of the commercial structure. 
The incident was upgraded to a full-still rural water response due to lack of hydrants in the area.  Crews attacked the fire with the use of 2 hand lines and had the fire under control in approximately 20-30 minutes after dispatch. 
A search of the structure found no victims or occupants.
