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

This is from Eric Haak:

Here are some images taken early this morning during the Chicago Fire Department’s 2-11 Alarm at 62nd and Harlem on June 9th, 2019. The fire spread quickly through several units, and with poor hydrant pressure, the alarm was upgraded 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 had to switch to a defensive strategy. Squad 5A was positioned in the interior lot, while Tower Ladder 54 was set up on Harlem Street. Tower Ladder 39 also arrived but I’m not sure if they ever got water into the fire. The incident also involved some unique challenges, like Engine 8 operating at the corner of 61st and Harlem, and a Summit engine providing water support to the Chicago operation.

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 clearly showed the challenges firefighters faced, including limited access, unstable structures, and the need for coordinated efforts between multiple departments. These photos give a glimpse into the scale and complexity of the response that day.
