This from Dan McInerney:
Chicago Fire Department, 4-11 alarm, Broadway and Gunnison, 12/24/94I took in this fire from home on 12//24/94. It was in a vacant auto dealership, probably 100×200 with a bowstring truss roof. Needless to say, they didn’t make a push inside as it was a done deal upon arrival. The site is now a parking lot for a large strip mall. Pictures were taken with a cheap camera that was all I could afford at the time.

For #TBT. Fire at the Lyric Theater in Blue Island, February 14th, 1960. Sunday afternoon matinee filled with children watching a movie. The building was evacuated and the only loss was the building. Today, this would have been a box alarm with multiple companies attending and change of quarters. Back then it was handled solely by Blue Island. How times have changed.

This from Austin Lawler:
I came a cross this photo on vintagetribune Instagram page. It is of a fire at Chromatic Paint Inc. on May 21, 1968. From the looks of it, it was a massive fire. Curious if anyone on the site has photos or more info on it. Have a good one.
