Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire 9-25-13

Chicago experienced a 2-11 alarm fire today at 10:34 AM on South Kostner Avenue. The structure involved 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 an unknown type of adhesive that caught fire. As smoke began to fill the building, emergency crews quickly identified the source and ordered all personnel to evacuate. A Personnel Accountability Report (PAR) was conducted immediately. A Haz Mat Level I response was requested alongside the 2-11 alarm. Engine 106's Mobile Ventilation Unit (MVU), designated as 9-2-3, was specially called in, along with the Mobile Oxygen Bus, 8-8-11. Although there was no visible fire, thick black smoke was being forcefully expelled from the building by the large ventilation fan. Larry Shapiro and Tim Olk were on the scene, capturing several images of the incident. Below are some of the photos taken during the response.
