Here's a report from Eric Haak about the 2-11 alarm fire in Chicago on September 11, 2022. The incident took place at a 50x100-foot auto parts store, where a severe fire broke out in the basement. Despite the building being only 200 feet south of Engine 49’s station, the intense fire load in the basement led to a defensive firefighting approach from the start.
These are some photos taken early Sunday morning during the 2-11 alarm in Chicago. A deep-seated fire was burning in the basement of the auto parts store. Even though it was close to Engine 49’s location, the heavy fire load made it necessary to take a defensive position right away.

The firefighters faced significant challenges due to the fire's intensity and the structure's layout. Multiple units were dispatched, including several engine companies and ladder trucks. The scene was chaotic but well-managed, with crews working to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby buildings. It was a tough call for the department, but they handled it professionally under difficult conditions.
