CHICAGO, THIS WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ALARM FIRES CHICAGO HAS EVER FACED IN MANY YEARS.THE FIRE BROKE OUT IN A E-SHAPE INDUSTRIAL 3 TO 7 STORY BUILDING BUILDED IN THE EARLY 1900'S.
THE FIRE STARTED ON THE 2ND FLOOR OF THE WEST SECTION OF THE BUILDING,AND
SPREAD FLOOR TO FLOOR , SECTION TO SECTION, TURNING INTO A TOTAL INFERNO.
AS BAD AS THIS FIRE WAS, NO ONE WAS HURT.
Thanks for posting this great piece of Chicago history.

I am very grateful you posted this video, I have been looking for this fire for years. I wish you could hear all the explosions that tore through the building as it burned, I heard them clear as day at 25th and Leavitt while at work. Thank you!!! 5 stars
