2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 6-9-19

This is from Eric Haak:

Here are some images captured early in the Chicago Fire Department’s 2-11 alarm this morning, June 9th, at 62nd and Harlem. The fire spread rapidly through multiple units, and with poor hydrant pressure, the incident was escalated to a still and box. What you can’t see in these photos is that for each exterior unit, there was an additional unit accessible only via an interior hallway. As the fire moved over the top of those units and the roof became unstable, crews were forced into a defensive position. Squad 5A was stationed in the interior courtyard, while aerial operations began with Tower Ladder 54 set up on Harlem Street. Tower Ladder 39 was also deployed, though I’m not sure if they ever used water. The situation also brought some unique challenges, like Engine 8 pumping from the corner of 61st and Harlem, and a Summit engine supplying water to the Chicago incident.

This is from Jim Skrabel:

Here are a few photos from the 2-11 alarm at 6201 S. Harlem. They were taken by my son Chris Skrabel.

The fire was intense, and it's clear that the crews worked under very challenging conditions. It's always sobering to see the scale of such incidents and the dedication of the firefighters who respond. These images give a glimpse into what happened during the early stages of the fire, and it's important to remember the efforts of all involved.
