Chicago 2-11 Alarm Fire 2-18-11

Chicago had a 2-11 Alarm fire this morning in a two-story commercial structure at 2100 W. Fulton Street. One caller reported a fire around 4:30 in the morning and firefighters found heavy fire upon arrival. The fire was upgraded to a 2-11 Alarm when fire burned through the roof and the building was determined to have a bow string truss roof. Two tower ladders and the Snorkel from Squad 1 had elevated master streams working in addition to two ground level multi-versals. A Level I Haz Mat was also called.
