Excerpts from cbsnewschicago.com:
An extra-alarm fire ripped through a parking garage in the Illinois Medical District on the city’s Near West Side Tuesday afternoon.
The fire broke out in a truss-roof parking garage for the Garibaldi Square on the Park townhouse complex at 711 S. Ashland Ave., between Flournoy and Polk streets. One car caught fire, and the blaze spread to nearly 30 other cars.
The roof of the garage collapsed onto the vehicles, potentially causing more cars to catch fire. A 2-11 alarm was raised for extra equipment and manpower. Just under 100 fire personnel were brought in to battle the blaze.
The alarm was struck out and the fire was under control by 4:37 p.m., and many cars lay in burned out ruins.

Here are some images from Sunday mornings 2-11 in Chicago. There was a deep-seated fire in the basement of the 50×100 auto parts store. Even though the building was 200 feet south of Engine 49’s house, the heavy fire load in the basement prompted a defensive attack early on.

Excerpts from Fox32chicago.com:
A firefighter was injured as several homes and a car caught fire in two separate blazes Sunday night in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, prompting an arson investigation.
The first fire was reported around 8:52 p.m. at an apartment in the 4500 block of South Wood Street. Police said an accelerant was used to start the fire and it is being investigated as arson. No one was injured but two people were displaced.
Roughly an hour later, a two-alarm fire was reported at three homes and a vehicle in the 4300 block of South Honore Street. A firefighter suffered a minor injury and was taken to a local hospital, officials said. Fifteen residents were displaced.
The Chicago Fire Department has not said if they believe the two fires are connected.
