Just after sunrise on Sunday morning, April 29, 2007, fire engulfed this old Chicago warehouse in the 2100 block of West Carroll on the near west side.  There is a great video on YouTube of the scene before companies even arrived which was filmed by residents living in the building at the end of the street.  The 100 x 250, 3-story heavy timber building was fully involved before Engine 26 and Truck 7 arrived, sending thick smoke throughout the neighborhoods for miles to the north.  The building was being renovated into lofts at the time.  I arrived in time to capture the second collapse of the sector 1 wall which you can see in the first two images.
