Here's an update from Eric Haak regarding the 2-11 alarm this morning at 6427 S. Cottage Grove in Chicago:

At just before 04:43, Engine 47 and Truck 30 arrived to find a fire coming from the first floor of a three-story, 75x100 mixed-use building. Within two minutes, Battalion 17 requested the Still & Box and reported that the stairway to the upper floors was damaged. Firefighters had to access the second and third floors using ground ladders. By 04:50, the fire had vented through the roof, threatening the rear porches, so the 2-11 alarm was called. Fortunately, the situation was brought under control quickly, and the 2-11 was canceled at 05:18.

The fire is believed to have started in the basement or first floor, but due to the building’s mixed use, it posed a significant risk to residents above. Firefighters worked quickly to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading further. The incident highlights the importance of early response and the challenges firefighters face when accessing upper floors during such incidents. Thanks to the quick actions of the crews, no injuries were reported, and the structure remains intact despite the damage. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
