More photos from the Historic fire: Goldblatt’s fire in Mt Prospect, 1977 (pt1)
Hi,I just found your blog as I was searching for old photos of the Goldblatts fire. I grew up in Des Plaines in the Craig Manor subdivision at the corner of Wolf & Central Roads. We could see the fire from our house and quickly drove over there. I was 14 at the time and had a cheap old camera and took these photos myself. You may share them anywhere.Please attribute them to: Carole (formerly of Des Plaines)~Carole

This from Steve Redick:
This was a 5-11 and 4 specials at 1400 W 32nd Place on May 25, 1966 in a large, vacant, wood-frame grain elevator. I have not seen very many color photos of this. My favorite shot is what looks like SS3’s Snorkel working. I would assume the fireboat would was Engine 41.These amazing images were taken by Gerald Bean.
