This from Eric Haak:
Here are some images of the 2-11 in Chicago at 1915 S. Carpenter on Monday morning (4/6). First calls came in just before 9:00. Typical of the Pilsen neighborhood, the old buildings were packed tight with very little room between exposures. There was a large 2-story frame that appeared to be connected to the three story ordinary by a very small deck section (from my perspective) and this was primarily where the fire load was. There was not much to see from the front and the only view of the back was over a fence. Very little space in the “B” and “D” gangways.
