This message is from Eric Haak:
Earlier this morning, around 2:00 AM, I responded to a 2-11 alarm at the 5400 block of South Kedzie. The time was 0547 hours when I first arrived on scene. Engine 88 and Engine 123 were already on the ground, alongside Tower Ladder 39 and Truck 52. Battalion 20 had RIT with Truck 41, while Battalion 19 reported an active fire in a single-story, ordinary 100 x 50-foot commercial strip mall. It seemed the fire originated in the liquor store. Both Engine 88 and Engine 123 were operating in Sector 1 along Kedzie, working alongside Tower and Squad 5a. Box time came at 0557 hours, bringing in Engine 65 and Engine 34. Engine 34 was stationed at the entrance to the alley on 54th Place in Sector 3, while Tower Ladder 54 was positioned in Sector 4 on 54th Place.
By 0614 hours, the situation had escalated to a defensive operation. Battalion 4 acted as the Safety Chief, monitoring the progress from the roof of the adjoining building to the north. Engine 65 also utilized this vantage point to work a hose line. When I arrived, Sector 3 was thick with smoke, and I could see a discarded hand line through the back of one of the businesses. The 2-11 alarm was called at approximately 0720 hours.
The scene was chaotic but well-coordinated. Each team was doing their part to contain the fire and prevent further spread. Photos taken by Eric Haak capture the intensity of the moment, showing the efforts of firefighters working tirelessly against the blaze. Here's a glimpse of what it looked like from different angles:
