This from Steve Redick:

It took me 3 days to process all the images but it was well worth the effort. The first image is a nice aerial view of the fire building. Initial reports were of volume of fire in the basement. I believe an interior attack was attempted but conditions were such it was abandoned in short order. The fire had quickly spread throughout the entire building. Some significant exposure problems as well. They called for the hi ex foam rig but the fire was way to advanced by the time it arrived. Basically an outside attack with 2 TL, 2 Snorkels, deluge rig, hand lines, and the north side hose wagon 612 was utilized as well. Also got a shot of the new battery rig 6-3-9. Did some experimenting with some black and white images and was very pleased with the results. The photos are in chronological order and coupled with my video give a good idea of the progression of the fire.

This from Steve Redick:

Early last week I made a quick “photo run by” at the box at Thomas and Central Park in Chicago. It was a red ‘X’ building, the site of previous fires. All defensive, mainly done when I arrived. Nice lighting conditions … a real rarity…
