3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 9-23-14

This from Josh Boyajian:

The 14th Battalion on Chicago’s West Side received a report of a building on fire near the intersection of Pulaski and Ogden Avenues. Engine 38 and Truck 48 arrived first-in around 0544 hours and reported they did have a fire, and requested a Still & Box. Battalion 14 arrived on-scene and reported heavy fire in a two-story, 50×125 commercial building. At 0621 hours and 0623 hours, the 2-11 and 3-11 Alarms were requested. Six master streams and four hand lines were used in an effort to surround and drown the fire. At 0802 hours, 2-1-6 struck out the 3-11. As of 1130 hours, companies were being relieved on the scene as they continue to chase hot spots and overhaul the structure. The building was reported to have a music recording studio on the first floor and a banquet hall on the 2nd.
Here are some shots from the fire.

Chicago 3-11 Alarm fire, August 27, 2014 (part 8)

This from Steve Redick:

It took me 3 days to process all the images but it was well worth the effort. The first image is a nice aerial view of the fire building. Initial reports were of volume of fire in the basement. I believe an interior attack was attempted but conditions were such it was abandoned in short order. The fire had quickly spread throughout the entire building. Some significant exposure problems as well. They called for the hi ex foam rig but the fire was way to advanced by the time it arrived. Basically an outside attack with 2 TL, 2 Snorkels, deluge rig, hand lines, and the north side hose wagon 612 was utilized as well. Also got a shot of the new battery rig 6-3-9. Did some experimenting with some black and white images and was very pleased with the results. The photos are in chronological order and coupled with my video give a good idea of the progression of the fire.
