On December 22, 2018, Chicago saw a second 2-11 alarm fire at 6417 N. Ravenswood Avenue. This incident occurred on a Saturday afternoon and involved a one-story commercial building with a truss roof. The fire started in the rear section of the structure, which measured approximately 75 by 75 feet, and quickly spread through the roof.
Firefighters from Engine 56 and Tower Ladders 21 and 23 were deployed to the scene. The truss roof made the fire more challenging to control, as it allowed the flames to spread rapidly. Tower Ladder 23 and the newly arrived Tower Ladder 21 played key roles in bringing the fire under control and preventing it from spreading further.
Eric Haak captured several powerful images of the event, showing firefighters battling the blaze and the dramatic moment when the roof collapsed. His photos highlight the intensity of the fire and the professionalism of the responding crews. One image features Chicago FD Engine 56, while another shows Deputy Fire Commissioner Tim Sampey at the scene. Additional shots depict the tower ladders in action and firefighters working with a large hose line.
The fire was contained, but the damage to the commercial structure was significant. Such incidents emphasize the importance of quick response and advanced firefighting techniques, especially in buildings with complex structural elements like truss roofs. The efforts of the Chicago Fire Department helped prevent a larger disaster.
