3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago with Haz Mat Level 1 and EMS Plan 1, 5-19-20 (more)
I just got back from covering a major 3-alarm fire in Chicago that happened earlier today. The incident involved significant involvement from Haz Mat Level 1 teams and an EMS Plan 1 response, really highlighting the complexity of this situation. It all went down on May 19, 2020, and I managed to snap some photos that capture the intensity of the scene.
Here's one of the first shots I took as the flames were starting to die down a bit. This was captured by Tim Olk, who has been on the scene documenting everything:

There was so much going on that I ended up taking quite a few more photos, including these additional shots:
As you can see, the response was immense, requiring multiple resources to manage the situation effectively. I wanted to share a few more images from the scene because it’s not every day you witness something like this unfold in such a densely populated area.
Below is a gallery of additional photos I snapped during my time there. Each image gives a slightly different perspective on how extensive the damage was and how coordinated the emergency response had to be:
The whole experience was both humbling and eye-opening, especially seeing just how quickly things can escalate and how critical teamwork is in situations like these. If you'd like to view all the images in a slideshow format, you can click the link below:

Overall, this event served as a stark reminder of the importance of preparedness and the incredible efforts put forth by firefighters, hazmat specialists, and paramedics when faced with emergencies of this magnitude. I’ll continue to keep an eye on any updates or further developments regarding this fire.
