Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire 9-25-13

Chicago experienced a 2-11 alarm fire today at 10:34 a.m. at 1034 S. Kostner. The structure was a five-story building with a one-story section in the rear. Workers were in the process of disconnecting a storage tank located in the basement, which contained some type of adhesive that caught fire. As smoke began to fill the building, firefighters quickly identified the source and determined it was in the basement. All personnel were evacuated, and a Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) was conducted. A Haz Mat Level I was requested along with the 2-11 alarm. Engine 106's Mobile Ventilation Unit (MVU), designated as 9-2-3, was specially called in, as well as the Mobile Oxygen Bus, 8-8-11. Although there was no visible fire, thick black smoke was being forcefully expelled from the building by a large fan. Larry Shapiro and Tim Olk were on the scene capturing the event. Below are some images from the incident.
