This is from Dan McInerney:
> Chicago Fire Department, 4-11 alarm, Broadway and Gunnison, December 24, 1994
I watched this fire from my home on December 24, 1994. It was a large blaze at an abandoned auto dealership, likely around 100 by 200 feet with a bowstring truss roof. As soon as the fire department arrived, it was clear that there was no chance of saving the structure — it was already a total loss. The firefighters made no attempt to go inside. The location is now a parking lot for a big strip mall, so it's hard to imagine what it looked like back then.
I took these photos using a cheap camera that I could afford at the time. They’re not high quality, but they give a real sense of the scene. I remember being struck by how fast the fire spread and how intense the flames were. It was one of those fires that you just couldn’t believe was happening right in front of you.
