This from Steve Redick:
Here’s some articles from an amazing fire. It occurred right next door to the quarters of engine 42 at 224 W. Illinois. Joseph P. Carone, a member from Truck 31 was killed in a collapse. Look at some of the names mentioned in the article. I have enclosed a Tribune photo I bought of this same fire. Note they also had an extra alarm in a hardware store a few blocks away at the same time.
