A suburban Walmart has been forced to temporarily close after a fire left two people injured Thursday.
According to Oswego fire officials, the fire broke out on the roof of the Walmart located in the community of Montgomery just before 1 p.m. Thursday.
Crews arrived on the scene and quickly began working to extinguish the blaze to prevent it from spreading into the structure.
