Chicago house fire on West Iowa 4-6-13

This just came in from Josh Boyajian: Chicago-based companies responded to a Still and Box alarm at 4258 W. Iowa Street this afternoon. The fire initially broke out on the first floor and quickly spread to the second floor and attic area. Units 117 and Tower 14 were among the responding teams. The strong wind conditions today certainly added another layer of difficulty for the firefighters as they worked to contain the blaze. Here’s what I managed to capture with my camera. This first image shows the extent of the damage; you can see how the flames were really taking hold and spreading rapidly across the structure.
