Subject: Chicago, IL 3-11 Commercial Fire Incident – March 20, 2024
From: Jimmy Bolf
Hi everyone,
I just got back from capturing some images at an intense commercial fire in Chicago earlier today. It happened on the north side of the city and was quickly upgraded to a 3-11 alarm due to the size and complexity of the blaze. The fire department responded swiftly, but it was clear this was going to be a tough one to contain.
Here’s what I saw as I was shooting photos from a safe distance.

The first wave of firefighters arrived within minutes, setting up their trucks and preparing for action. You could see the determination in their faces as they worked tirelessly against the flames. It’s always humbling to witness how they coordinate under pressure.
Another shot shows the fire truck team working hard to control the situation.

The smoke was so thick that it filled the air like a dense fog. Emergency lights from multiple fire engines illuminated the area, creating a surreal atmosphere.
Here’s another angle of the firefighters in action.

As you can imagine, bystanders gathered around to watch the operation unfold. It was both terrifying and awe-inspiring to see such dedication from the first responders.
One more image captures the firefighters’ efforts from a slightly different perspective.

The whole scene was chaotic yet organized, with every firefighter playing a crucial role.
And finally, here’s a wide-angle view of the entire firefighting operation.

This fire was a stark reminder of the dangers these brave men and women face every day. I’m grateful for their courage and professionalism. Let’s hope they managed to bring it under control soon without any major injuries.
Stay safe out there!
