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.

i believe if i recall acurately, about 20 years ago we (E-109 / T-32) had a fire in the same building, same area at rear. came in as an automatic alarm. held it to a still. very rotten smoke because of burning plastic resin furniture.
