Chicago firefighters responded for reports of smoke just before 4AM to Harry’s Lumber at 6220 N. Northwest Highway, the site of a previous 5-11 Alarm fire in 1990. Companies found a fire in the warehouse building and upgraded to a Still & Box Alarm and then a 2-11 Alarm fire. Hand lines were used and the MVU 9-2-3 was put to work though lines were never charged to either tower ladder. The Alarm was struck out shortly before 5:30AM.
At roughly 6:50AM companies still on the scene asked for a Full Still and RIT response back to the scene. Within minutes it was upgraded to a Still & Box Alarm and then a 2-11 Alarm with instructions for elevated master streams.
