This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:
We took in the extra alarm fire early this week on the westside of Chicago. It was a food manufacturing warehouse and the first-in companies encountered heavy fire on their arrival. A lot of in-line pumping operations took place at this job which required many resources, which at the peak of the fire, made it to a 5-11 and 4 Specials. Twenty two engines, ten trucks including four tower ladders, Squad 2, plus a plethora of special equipment responded to this. We got to this about an hour into the fire.

I went back to the fire scene the next day (April 3, 2019) to check out the extensive damage and took some photos.

More on the from Eric Haak:
Just two contributions from me from the 5-11. The first image shows the conditions in the southeast corner of the building and the second is a pretty neat image of Engine 76 pumping.

This from Larry Shapiro:
I arrived at the 5-11 Alarm fire almost two hours into it. The warehouse buildings had already collapsed and though there was still quite a bit of smoke, the bulk of the fire had been knocked down already. Nevertheless, here is what it looked like from that point on.
