Historic fire Hubbard Street fire with multiple LODD, 1-28-61

    From what Eric Haak shared with me: --- Hey everyone, I just wanted to share some images from the infamous Hubbard Street fire that happened in Chicago back in 1961. It’s one of those incidents where there are countless photos floating around, but I think a few of these might be less commonly seen. The first picture is a pretty standard shot of the building's front before it collapsed—I believe it was taken looking north from beneath the railroad bridge. In Image 2, you can see the position of Snorkel 1 in the alleyway. Then, Images 3 and 4 show the aftermath or the ruins, and I think they were captured while facing south from the Grand Avenue bridge. There’s also an interesting detail in Image 5, which is a close-up of part of Image 3. This particular photo shows an Ahrens-Fox engine being used to supply water to the high-pressure rig. If I've made any mistakes in describing these images or their locations, please let me know because I’ve always been curious about getting the details right. These photos mean a lot to me since I own the original negatives for all four of them, though I don’t know who originally took them. Attached below are the pictures themselves. They’re part of my personal collection, and each one tells its own story about that tragic day when nine brave firefighters lost their lives. [Image captions follow] --- Would you like me to go ahead and add more context or details?
