Chicago firefighters battled a commercial fire at midnight in a 75×100 building at 75th Street and Martin Luther King Drive. The alarm was upgraded quickly from a working fire to a 2-11 Alarm. Two tower ladders went to work along with multiple hand lines.

6212 Cermak in Berwyn, IL at “oh my god it’s early” this am (04:59) … I suspect this fire was in for a bit before I heard about it. I arrived just as the roof went in It was snowing just enough so I really couldn’t use flash, so they are all available light shots. Oak Park tower, two Berwyn ladder pipes. Looked like the members were in both exposures and I suspect communication was minimal although I really don’t know for sure.
