I wish I knew where this fire was...Some interesting points...H&L 2 with their Magirus and the back end of 673 big mo a real Chicago classic...anyone have info on this fire??
From Russ Coughlin: Steve, This was a 5-11 + 1 Special @ 952 N. Michigan on 2/5/71. The Special was for 5 Engines and 2 Trucks. I also think that all 6 Salvage Squads were special called as well. The building was of mixed occupancies including some high end shops and art galleries. The key to this fire was that a strong cold front went through the city during this fire which brought 40mph winds and dropping temperatures which really hampered the CFD’s battle.
