Chicago Still & Box Alarm fire, 4-4-16

On Monday morning, April 4th, 2016, just after 2 AM, Chicago firefighters responded to a serious fire at a laundromat located at 5130 W. Fullerton Avenue. Upon arrival, they found heavy fire engulfing a one-story commercial building measuring 60 by 100 feet with a bow-string truss roof. The structure had no immediate adjacent buildings, with parking lots on both sides. Firefighters quickly ventilated the roof and transitioned to a defensive operation. Tower Ladder 14 was positioned to the west, while Squad 2A was set up to the east. A second tower ladder, Tower Ladder 23, was called in to assist from the front of the building. Two multi-function units and three elevated master streams worked for over two hours to bring the fire under control. As the fire raged, heavy flames burst out of the front of the building, igniting a car parked along the curb. The utility company was dispatched to shut off the gas supply due to a gas-fed fire burning near the entrance. Steve Redick and Larry Shapiro were on scene documenting the incident. Here is a brief cellphone video clip from Steve Redick, with more footage to follow.
Larry Shapiro also captured some compelling photos and a short video of the event.
