Intensive heat, Let's Hear it for Our Fire Fighters! Without the gear, the fire is too great and the body can't with stand heat. Support the Locals and Volunteers as well. Thank you and God Bless

It was a vacant mansion on 4550 S Michigan Ave. Built in 1881. Last purchased May 22, 2000 for $37,000 Now valued at $746,000. Makes you wonder if they burned it down for the mullah 🥴

It is always about money. Feel for the neighbors that undoubtedly sustained damage.

How are those guys in the tower ladder not wearing air packs????

[@5thdegreekempo]

because the management of the Chicago Fire Department dosent care about the safety of its Firefighters.

[@janvanholten7592]

It is really unbelievable. Also the fact that some firefighters still walk around trough the narrow streets that surround the building. The roof has gone, so it can be a very unstable building.

[@ed12151]

in the past those guys are called "leather lung" firefighter.......

Where is the WATER? Looting the joint ha!

[@hectorescalona8945]

What is starting all these buildings fires in Chicago

[@patdonnelly9392]

People looking to get out of there NOW, but need the insurance $$? Just a guess. I'm not from there. No desire to ever go there either.

HELLO FIRE PAY!

[@judithwalters8959]

Did I miss it? Why is there not a ladder truck there to put that out? Sad to see old buildings go out. Now I see the ladder truck , but wow what a small stream.

[@williamedwards1528]

The building is long gone. Protect the exposures instead.

Ok, keyboard “firefighter.” (I’m guessing you’re not a firefighter at all.) Tell me that you only watched the first minute without telling me that you only watched the first minute. 🙄 There were 2 “ladder trucks,” and 4 hose lines spraying from the ground. And what “small stream”? You do realize that they don’t spray a curtain of water 10 feet wide, right? And if the water main and/or hydrant isn’t working at capacity for one reason or another, they will get less water flowing. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😬🙄

The drone footage shows how poorly these places were designed.A disaster waiting to happen.

[@Gfysimpletons]

Space heater?😂

[@m.hensley-panlilio671]
