Steve, 5-1-5 is that a Haz Mat District chief? I didnt see his signature on the new signature sheet that just came out.

This fire was discovered by special ops chief
515..no 911 calls for the original alarm were ever received..strictly a
"verbal" from 515. I understand this place was vacant but was of mill
construction and had housed a funiture and lamp company in days gone by.
An unusual overpass is in place in the front of the building on Ashland
ave..that is the highway like structure in many of the photos. Units
were positioned on this overpass, although due to collapse potential had
to remain clear of the front of the fire building. Master streams were
the order of the day. The first batch of
images was shot on the Ashland side of the complex and shows rapidly
spreading heavy fire on the upper floors. TL5 was in a nice little
alcove next to the overpass, and this is where the first collapses
occurred...on the south side of the complex. Note the temps were in the
single digits and wind chill at or below zero for the duration of the
job.
