It was a wild scene last night at the Still Box Alarm on April 4th, 2016, at 5130 W. Fullerton Avenue. The heavy flames shooting out of the building were something to see, especially in the darkness. I managed to capture some footage and photos that really captured the intensity of the situation.
Here’s a glimpse into what it looked like as the Chicago Fire Department worked tirelessly to bring the blaze under control. You can check out the video below, which gives you an idea of just how intense things got:
I also snapped some stills that really tell the story of the night. Here's one of the first shots I took, showing the dramatic flames lighting up the sky:

There were moments when the fire seemed relentless, but the dedication of the firefighters never wavered. Here’s another view of Tower Ladder 23 in operation:

Even during the chaos, there were quieter moments, like this photo capturing the eerie stillness amidst the firefighting efforts:
