8/31/15 - Chicago - 3-11+Mayday - 4874 N Lincoln Ave. - Cyber - 04-27-2016
Lincoln Square Lanes was Chicago's oldest bowling alley, located on the second floor of the structure; a hardware store occupied the ground floor. Fire was reported about half an hour after the employees of LSL left for the night. A mayday was issued when a firefighter was unaccounted for after his company was ordered out of the building and operations went defensive. He was located safe and sound and the mayday secured, but the fire continued to grow into a 3-11 conflagration. The old bowstring truss roof above the pressed tin ceiling was in before I arrived on scene to assist with the 5-11 Club canteen.
My view upon arrival, after checking in with my fellow club members:

Fire throughout the second floor. MAD PROPS to the men and women of the CFD for keeping the fire from spreading to the hardware store below.

Five streams - this was shortly before power was cut to the area.

Waiting for further orders. A BIG THANKS to the manager at the McDonald's in the background who offered any assistance (ice, etc.) we needed.

Forgive me if this comes off as inappropriate...this was during Patrick Kane being accused of rape and the sound of people snickering was quite audible as the irony of the location of the flames became increasingly noticeable. Thanks for looking at the set.
