No, this is in the building that houses the Chicago Board Options Exchange and next door is the Chicago Stock Exchange.
I'm in the Board of Trade, which is right across the street from the CBOE, but we have not been affected.

No, the Mercantile Exchange is located by the river --- several blocks away. This fire is in the south loop area.
