Chicago (IL) Rigs Operating

Photographer Steve Redick was on location at a Chicago, Illinois, still and box. From Redick: “Apparently originating with roofers, the fire took hold in the attic/cockloft space. The building was deemed to be of lightweight construction, which resulted in the use of outside streams and a limited and cautious interior operation.”
