In the aftermath of Saturday’s 4-11 Alarm fire at the commercial warehouse located at 2444 W. 21st Street in Chicago, local firefighter Tim Olk captured a series of compelling images from Sunday, showing emergency crews returning to the scene. Engine 23, Tower Ladder 5 (working with a spare unit), and the 4th Battalion were seen continuing their efforts at the smoldering ruins.
The photos offer a powerful visual of the ongoing response, highlighting the dedication of first responders as they worked to control the remaining embers.

Meanwhile, Engine 23 deployed its deck gun, adding to the coordinated effort to fully extinguish the fire.
