This is a report from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:
This afternoon, Engine Co. 62 responded to a one-story auto repair shop on fire with flames visible through the roof. Upon arrival, crews entered the building and quickly realized the situation was more serious than expected. The 22nd Battalion then requested a Still and Box alarm to bring in additional resources. After the fire was under control, there was extensive overhaul and salvage work to do.
Here are some photos from the scene:

More from Dan McInerney:
Here are some pictures from the still and box at 12300 S. Michigan on Thursday afternoon. They had a fire in a one-story vacant autobody shop. It looks like it may have started in the garage and spread into the cockloft before going through the roof. Squad 5 was on a still in the high rise on 41st St., and the 22nd Battalion wanted an elevated stream, which they didn’t have on the still, so they boxed it to get a tower ladder. E115 and E75 each brought a 2.5-inch line and made quick work of the fire. Neither TL34 nor Squad 5 (who eventually arrived from 41st St.) used their platforms. There was a lot of overhaul afterward, and the 22nd Battalion asked for an EFAO to notify the Building Department that this was a vacant and open building.
