This message comes from Eric Haak: These photos were taken on September 9th at a residential fire on South Avenue L in Chicago’s Southeast side. The first image was captured just two minutes before the box alarm was called, giving you a sense of what the scene looked like at that moment. The building was constructed using balloon framing, and the fire had already reached the attic. A witness told me that a grandfather managed to push a 7-year-old child out of a second-floor window, but he couldn’t escape himself. Due to the severity of the fire, crews went into a defensive position for a short period.

It's clear how quickly the situation escalated, and it's a reminder of the dangers that come with older construction methods like balloon framing. I think these photos are important for understanding the real-life impact of such incidents and the bravery of those who respond to them.
