More from Steve Redick on the 3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago on 7-1-13:

After a lengthy period it was determined to shut down the master streams and let the fire consume the roof area to provide for better access.This happened in some photographically good fashion, and there was a sudden collapse of the aformentioned truss add on. I didn’t capture the collapse but the sharp eye will notice the before and after shots. The reserve snorkel was called for and put to work, always an interesting event to photograph. A 3-11 was requested at this point due to no companies left in staging. I suspect none were used. Shot another pano and as Denny McGuire pointed out it was unique to see 2 snorkels and 2 towers (both HME) operating at the same time. I left the scene shortly thereafter and was treated with a view of eng 1 arriving at it’s change to engine 16’s new quarters 53 e Pershing … didn’t shoot it though. Hope you found the photos and video interesting.
