Thank you for flying around giving us a good view of this tragedy. Pray no one was hurt. ❤

[@roberthuron9160]

How many buildings involved? From what I see,there are about 7? Fire Marshalls are going to have a field day,on this one! Suspicious,yes?? Thank you 😇 😊!

[@kristinemurphy1112]

Does each ladder get it's own hydrant? I'd like to see how that works.

[@robinwier]

Very unusual looking scene. Looks like the fire started from the entire complex at about the same time. Super suspicious without an explanation.

[@chefbernie62]

Saw on another video it was a Battery business. I'd imagine with a warehouse full of batteries it would go up quick.

Such a wonderful filming, of those brave fire fighters, amidst all of that smoke in the air. Bravo

I saw a crawl on TV screen today, pollution from derailment in East Palestine has been found in 16 other states 😱 same here maybe 16 miles,cfd kick ass fire dept 👍👍

[@AllenPortman]

Ever notice how majority of the large metropolitan fires lately have been in old dilapidated structures with graffiti covering the outside of the buildings??? Either homeless setting these fires off (accidentally or intentionally in many instance) or maybe cities/investors are wanting these dilapidated removed and replaced with new businesses (i.e. greater tax revenue streams)? Maybe it is just me that has noticed this pattern...especially in Chicago, NYC, LA, Houston?

[@williamlloyd3769]

Homeless camping in dilapidated building equal fires

[@roberthuron9160]

Looks like that fire went to 5 or 6 alarms,4-5 battalions,and heavy ladder/cherry picker operations! Nasty,nasty fire! Hope all responders are okay! Cockloft type fire,in the roofs! Good coverage,would be better with scanner coverage! Thank you 😇 😊!

[@johnduff1510]

Looks like they need more lines on that thing !

[@coryhoover01]

For best multiple lines you need more hydrants on separate mains as each main can only move so much per minute

[@johnduff1510]

@@coryhoover01 ok I understand That was a hot one !

[@rkgsd]

What better way to bring new development to the block.

[@storyofcory]

😑 I mean, you have a valid argument, but still... 😥

[@rkgsd]

@@storyofcory I was sort of kidding, but I noticed the newer-looking development across the street which appears to be an apartment complex. The industrial area seems out of place, but I guess that's the way the city zoned it. If that business has insurance, they'll probably be allowed to to rebuild unless a developer tries to buy them out.

[@storyofcory]

@@rkgsd Oh, there's no doubt in my mind that this is suspicious, even if the Office of Fire Investigations says it wasn't. 🙄🤷‍♂

[@jerrypeal653]

How’s them open borders

[@coryhoover01]

Hopefully all the equipment outside doesn’t get damaged especially the trailer by the building

[@dlebreton7888]

Aerial coverage well done.

[@TodSpurlc]

Saving the foundation in Chicago😂😂😂😂 this is a terrible fire department

[@sleightthomas]

Another scene from Chicago Fire. Will make a great training video.

[@louisviscardi1501]

Water on fire equals no fire....

[@CPR12345]

And that’s exactly what they were doing 🤡

[@jonarmedpiandsecurityoffic9051]

Depends on what's burning, but this is a battery warehouse, so there is a metric fuckton of hazmat burning and creating toxic gas

[@coryhoover01]

Not true you cannot but water on material like petroleum products when they burn doesn’t work or flammable material when wet

[@storyofcory]

I usually say metric crap ton. YMMV. 😉😏🤷‍♂️😂

[@kjbigsful]

3 minutes in and I'm suspicious of this fire! 🤔

I guarantee it was arson. Get rid of that nasty eye sore.

I hope the firefighters are safe.I hope nobody was hurt but to tell you the truth.I can Care less if chicago burn to the ground It is the most crime-ridden city in the United States and their local government does nothing to correct it.I feel for the people that have to live there

[@whimsygrove9971]

Obviously not if you want it to burn to the ground? 🤔

[@heidi22209]

Dang dude. Looks like they are making some progress. Curious what/ who was occupied tbere.

Get some water on the burning material, and you won't need protection.

I guess that's one way to clear an area for new buildings.

how did this get started? I dont understand ?
