This from Eric Haak:
I thought I would share these vintage images from a 3-11 alarm on May 14, 2000. The fire was at 71st and Wabash and the images were scanned from original negatives that I own. The images were taken by a Sun-Times photographer but I do not have a name. They were in very poor shape and I had to spend a lot of time editing out the scratches, however you can see that I did not get to all of them yet. I’m sure there are some faces that many will identify, including a slightly younger Father Mulcrone.
