Chicago 2-11 5601 W Irving Park January 26, 2014

We were headed for extreme sub zero cold and high winds...the temps were single digits and falling, and the wind was kicking up as the fire progressed. The fire apparently originated in the first floor Mexican restaurant, and spread rapidly through the building and into the cockloft. As I was on the way I heard the roof guys report fire and smoke from the vent holes and that was pretty early in the job. Photography was challenging as when I arrived there were some pretty good snow conditions..so most of the images had to be available light. The sodium vapor streetlamps were plenty bright but color correcting all the images was quite the chore. Overall I was happy with many of the images, and I always like gritty bad weather type operations. I have previously sent the link to the video, and all of the images, a few hundred all told will be posted on my site

Heavy smoke but high winds and snow made poor visibility
