This from Drew Gresik:

Hey guys,

Took in this job at 2450 S Central Park Ave. We saw the header from Roosevelt and Kedzie and arrived just after the Still companies. Fire was in an “E” shaped, 3-story apartment building. It appeared that the fire was in the cockloft above the 3rd floor, and it was knocked pretty good by the time the 2-11 companies staged. The fire was then rekindled and Commissioner Santiago requested the 3-11. Here are a couple shots I got, including one of the rescues, Squad 1A working in Sector 1, and Truck 32’s guys climbing the main to the roof.

Sixth article about the 4-11 Alarm fire on Saturday at 2444 W. 21st Place in Chicago.

Eric Haak tells us:

On May 26, 2007, the same building had a 2-11 alarm fire on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I am submitting these photos to give perspective as they show the building intact. On that day, the fire appeared to originate in a back section that is seen in the first photo. A witness I spoke to today stated that today’s fire appeared to initiate from that same back section. The second photo is taken from the railroad bridge looking east and shows the entire structure’s length. The last photo is shown looking west from Western. Credits to Eric Haak.

Hank Sajovic took in a fire yesterday in Chicago and provided several images and the following description:

On December 13, 2011 companies in the 14th Battalion responded to a still alarm for a fire at 4018 W. Cermak Rd. Engine 38 arrived to find a fire in a 2-story brick apartment building measuring 25 x 60. Truck 32, the second due truck, arrived and went to their assignment in the rear where they found the back of the structure heavily involved. The captain notified the 14th battalion and with that report he requested a Box alarm. Three lines were used to control the fire. The building was reportedly vacant and the fire was suspicious. The Office of Fire Investigations was requested to the scene.
