On December 22, 2018, Chicago saw a second 2-11 alarm fire at 6417 N Ravenswood Avenue. The incident occurred in the afternoon and involved a one-story commercial building with a truss roof. The fire primarily affected the rear section of the structure, which measured approximately 75 by 75 feet. Despite the challenges posed by the truss design, firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control.
Tower Ladder 23 and the newly arrived Tower Ladder 21 played crucial roles in extinguishing the fire after it burned through the roof. Firefighters worked tirelessly on the scene, using large hose lines and specialized equipment to tackle the intense flames. The response was swift and coordinated, showcasing the professionalism of the Chicago Fire Department.
Eric Haak captured several powerful images from the scene, including shots of Engine 56, Deputy Fire Commissioner Tim Sampey, and firefighters battling the fire. The photos also highlight the dramatic moment when the roof collapsed and the efforts of the tower ladders in controlling the fire. These images provide a vivid look into the intensity and complexity of the incident.
The fire serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by first responders and the importance of rapid, effective emergency response. It also underscores the need for continued investment in fire prevention and safety measures in commercial buildings.
