Chicago had a 2-11 Alarm that destroyed Windy City Produce, at 3340 N. Pulaski Road around 3:45AM this morning.

This from Larry Shapiro:

I arrived rather late and there wasn’t much to see. Here are some shots from the scene and a very brief video.

3-11 alarm fire and EMS Plan I at Resurrection Hospital, 12-11-14

Dec 15

This from Steve Redick:

The string of 11th battalion workers continues. This one was at Resurrection Hospital, a major hospital complex about a block from my house. Came in as a “cold box” and companies reported a fire in the chapel area on the 2nd floor. The alarm eventually rose to a 3-11 and EMS plan 1 with a special call for the MVU from O’Hare Field. This brought the brand new Engine 9 as well.

Not much to see from the outside but it sounded like they had quite a bit of hidden fire that was difficult to expose, as well as difficulties ventilating the fire area. It also sounded like they relocated numerous patients within the building. A moderate amount of light smoke was visible at the roofline for a bit. A very unusual incident to say the least, and I’m sure there were issues and concerns that I could not see from the outside.
