Chicago 3-11 Alarm fire, August 27, 2014 (part 8)

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.

3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago 7-1-13 (more)

More from Steve Redick on the 3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago on 7-1-13:

After a lengthy period it was determined to shut down the master streams and let the fire consume the roof area to provide for better access.This happened in some photographically good fashion, and there was a sudden collapse of the aformentioned truss add on. I didn’t capture the collapse but the sharp eye will notice the before and after shots. The reserve snorkel was called for and put to work, always an interesting event to photograph. A 3-11 was requested at this point due to no companies left in staging. I suspect none were used. Shot another pano and as Denny McGuire pointed out it was unique to see 2 snorkels and 2 towers (both HME) operating at the same time. I left the scene shortly thereafter and was treated with a view of eng 1 arriving at it’s change to engine 16’s new quarters 53 e Pershing … didn’t shoot it though. Hope you found the photos and video interesting.
