Chicago, IL 5-11 Alarm at 1522 W. Lawrence Avenue,  June 1st, 1984. This was the Southport Lumber Company, a  1-sty 75X150. There was some exposure to a roller rink on Clark Street. The fire was well under control when I arrived. Also take note of the lack of crowd control back in those days.

I have also included a picture from my scrap book of a shot from the Chicago Tribune.
