Vintage Chicago fire scene: 3-11 alarm in 1970
I just came across some fascinating old newspaper clippings from Steve Redick about a fire that happened back in December 1970. It was a 3-11 shift alarm at an address on 316 N Michigan Avenue, specifically concerning the lower level. The images below are part of the Warren Redick collection and give a real glimpse into how things were back then.
