From fsi.illinois.edu:
On December 22, 1989, Chicago Fire Department Firefighter Kelvin Anderson of Engine 107, died in the line of duty when the roof collapsed on him during a fire at the Rose of Sharon Church on W. Warren Boulevard. Anderson’s colleagues reported that he was crawling through the church searching for victims when the roof collapsed around 7 p.m. Search and rescue teams labored for more than sixteen hours before Anderson’s body, buried under debris in the church’s basement, was recovered around 11 a.m. the next morning. An autopsy indicated that he had died from asphyxiation and severe burns. Anderson was given full department honors during his funeral, and a plaque in his memory was unveiled at Engine 107’s firehouse in 2001.

Below are images taken at a 5-11 +1 Special on October 10, 1971. This fire broke out at 11:15 am @ 430 N. Damen. It looks like a structure along with some kind of a yard like pallets or lumber. The rig you see in the final image is Engine 14. Thanks and enjoy!
