Old Chicago 5-11 Photo

[Guest]

So I was talking with some fellow fire fans and we were discussing when we had seen 671 at work prior to it's resurrection for the latest 5-11. I trolled through my archives and found these images..taken at a 5-11 & 2 Specials 2232 S Grove st..April 14 1989. This fire involved a huge amount of tires in the old Cuneo press complex, and 1 of these buildings was used in the final fire in the movie backdraft. One shot shows a real rarity, 2 turret wagons working. LDH was in limited use at this fire..still kinda new to us. The next day was the famous Art Gallery 5-11...what a coupla days this was!!!!
