This from Eric Haak:

A few images from a working fire at 117th and Michigan in Chicago on Sunday afternoon.  Fire was already blowing out a sector B window on arrival even though Engine 75’s response distance was only 2 blocks.  The fire on the first floor was quickly brought under control but had made it’s way into a confined space attic.  All images of interior work being done without masks or packs were taken during the overhaul phase, well after the fire was declared out.
