Firefighters on Chicago’s far south side battled this 2-11 alarm fire at 115th and Perry as temperatures hovered around zero on the evening of February 3, 2007.  It took me some time to respond to this one and all that was left was a shell of this 1-story frame storage warehouse.  Tower Ladder 34 was in a spare rig that day and most of it’s rear, along with the two firefighters, were encased in ice.
