Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire, 1-26-14 (more)

More on last night’s 2-11 alarm fire from Dan Shevlin

I arrived almost an hour and a half into this incident, and the scene was already chaotic. Snow was falling heavily, and the fire had spread quickly through the commercial building. Firefighters were working hard under tough conditions, with visibility limited by both smoke and snow.

The firefighters were clearly exhausted, but they kept pushing forward. The Chicago Snorkel unit was in action, trying to bring the flames under control. It was a challenging night for everyone involved, with cold weather adding to the difficulty. As the fire continued to burn, more units were called in, and the situation remained tense throughout the night.
