On December 22, 2018, Chicago saw a second 2-11 alarm fire in the city that day, this time at 6417 N. Ravenswood Avenue. The incident occurred on a Saturday afternoon and involved a one-story commercial building with a truss roof system. The fire was largely confined to the rear section of the structure, measuring approximately 75 by 75 feet. Despite containment efforts, the flames eventually broke through the roof, prompting the use of two tower ladders—Tower Ladder 23 and the newly arrived Tower Ladder 21—to bring the fire under control.
According to Eric Haak, who captured several images of the event, the fire was intense and required significant resources. Firefighters worked tirelessly to suppress the blaze, which had spread quickly due to the structural design of the building. The footage and photos from the scene show the dramatic nature of the fire, with flames visible through the roof and crews actively engaging in firefighting operations.
Eric Haak's photographs provide a detailed look at the response, including Engine 56, Tower Ladder 23, and Tower Ladder 21, as well as firefighters using large-diameter hoses to combat the fire. One image shows a firefighter pulling a 2½-inch hose line, highlighting the physical effort and coordination needed during such an emergency. Another photo captures the Deputy Fire Commissioner, Tim Sampey, on the scene, underscoring the high level of involvement from city officials.
The fire serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by first responders and the importance of rapid, coordinated action in large-scale incidents. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the fire was ultimately brought under control. The event highlights the critical role of Chicago’s Fire Department in responding to emergencies and protecting the community.
