Chicago Fire Department history, 5-11 Alarm fire 11-14-03

This message is from Steve Redick:

Recently, I came across an audio tape of the radio traffic from a fire incident at 19th & Peoria, which I recorded from a fire alarm office. I’ve also included a link to the images from that event. It's fascinating to see how much my tools and techniques have evolved since then. As I recall, TL39 lost power while the basket was in a dangerous position, and I have photos of firefighters stretching an exposure line to secure the basket and ladder. I remember seeing the scene from the elevated part of the Dan Ryan as I was en route, and there were massive flames coming from a square block area — it was quite the sight. Despite the huge fire, there weren’t many great photo opportunities. Enjoy the history.
