Tim Olk captured images from two separate fires in Chicago yesterday. The first was a Still Alarm at the 500 block of Onarga on the city’s northwest side, which was shared here along with photos from Steve Redick. The second was a 2-11 Alarm fire that occurred at 118th Street and South Yale on the south side of the city.
The Chicago Tribune published a short article here about the 2-11 incident. According to the report, the fire broke out around 12:15 p.m. at a home near 118th Street and South Yale Avenue. It started on the first floor and quickly spread to an adjacent building.
