More on the 2-11 Alarm church fire on Thanksgiving Day in Chicago, 11-27-25 from Eric Haak:

The fourth fire to strike Chicago during Thanksgiving Day came in at 1345. A massive 80×80, 3-story, frame historic building built in the 1890s as a Swedish Baptist Church. There was also a connected 20×35, 2-story brick that used to be the Sunday School. First-due companies did make a brief interior push. This fire belonged to the 20th Battalion with chiefs being spread thin at two other fires. He requested the Box at 1357 to go defensive. The 2-11 was pulled by 2-2-5 at 1418. At one point, most of the structure collapsed in on itself. Companies were on the scene for nearly six hours.

This from Eric Haak:

Chicago Fire Department 2-11 Alarm – March 30th; High winds back on March 30th quickly turned a grass fire into an inferno as embers ignited mounds of paper waiting to be recycled at a facility at 48th and Christiana.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some images of companies mopping up after the Chicago FD Tower La in Chicago’s 16th Battalion on Thursday afternoon. The building measured 250 x 150 and was vacant. It appeared that there was very heavy fire conditions in the loading dock area which caused the roof to collapse but companies prevented it from spreading to the rest of the structure.
