Virtual Fire Buffing in Chicago

[Guest]

Chicago has always been one of my favorite cities to buff. In September of 1970 Duane Troxel and I visited Chicago to shoot the entire department. On the first Saturday in the Windy City we met up with fellow buff Chuck Bleck at the motel we were staying at on N. La Salle. Shortly after Chuck met us, the CFD struck a Still & Box in 1200 block of N. Clybourn. We jumped into Duane's car in a light rain and drove the fairly short distance to the fire scene. Here are Duane (left) and Chuck (right) running ahead of me into the fire scene. I believe it was a 2-11 about this time. It would go to a 3-11.
