In the aftermath of Saturday's 4-11 alarm fire at the commercial warehouse located at 2444 W. 21st Street in Chicago, Tim Olk shared a series of compelling images captured on Sunday. The scene showed Engine 23, Tower Ladder 5 (working with a spare unit), and the 4th Battalion returning to the site to continue their efforts on the smoldering ruins.
The photos offer a powerful visual account of the ongoing response. One image captures firefighters directing a water stream into what remains of the structure, highlighting the intensity of the operation. Another shows Tower Ladder 5 positioned on 24th Street, using its master stream to douse the remaining embers. A firefighter in the bucket of the tower ladder monitors the flow, ensuring that no hot spots are left unattended.
Further shots reveal the scale of the damage, with the towering ladder looming over the wreckage. A close-up of Engine 23 shows firefighters deploying a deck gun, an essential tool for controlling residual fires. The final image presents a striking silhouette of Tower Ladder 5 working at the scene, emphasizing the dedication and persistence of the crews involved.
These images not only document the physical destruction but also reflect the tireless efforts of first responders in the face of such a devastating event. Previous coverage can be found HERE.
