  You are right David, that was Throop and Harrison.

  I think I know what you’re reffering to, wasn’t the car a white Caddy or something similar, I think that video was from a 1967 fire at Throop & Harrison but could be mistaken, was also a 5-11 + some specials.

  i think i saw a video of this on you tube from one of the ChicagoFD accounts. one thing I remember is a firefights and moving a civilian car from the front of the building. don’t know if he had the keys or hot wired it.

  This must have been quite a picnic, quite a shame there ain’t some more photos from this fire, even the newspaper pics look really spectacular.
