8-5-2016 Chicago Fire Department 2-11 - 1016 W 78th St

I could smell the smoke on the wind in my neighborhood.  By the time we got there, it was still a very smoky scene, but the majority of the fire had been knocked down, a quick stop by the CFD.

I like when the smoke creates for some cool effects. The fire building is in the background, though next to impossible to see. Fire was in the 3rd floor apartment.

Decision-making time.

Looking down the street at the scene. The abandoned church in the foreground would've been an exposure building had the fire spread enough - made me wonder if it was a part of why the 2-11 fire call.

That's all folks!  Thanks for looking.
