Chicago Fire Department (CFD) responded to reports of a fire at a three-story building located at 6308 South Halsted Street. The structure was primarily vacant on the upper floors, while the ground level housed various stores. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered intense flames raging in the basement and immediately called for backup, specifically requesting the deployment of a high-expansion foam unit. Before utilizing this specialized equipment, all personnel inside the building were evacuated as a precautionary measure, transitioning the operation to a defensive strategy. The incident escalated rapidly, prompting the activation of a 2-11 alarm followed by a subsequent upgrade to a full 3-11 alarm response. Multiple resources were mobilized to address the situation, including two tower ladders, Squad 5A (Snorkel), Reserve Snorkel 661, and one of the turret wagons, 676. In addition to these vehicles, multiple hand lines and multi-versals were deployed to combat the blaze from various angles. Numerous eyewitnesses and contributors were present at the scene, capturing extensive footage and photographs of the unfolding events. Their efforts will provide valuable documentation for those following the story. CFD Media provided ongoing updates throughout the night: - "6308 S Halsted, 3-11 alarm, three-story building, 100x200 feet. CFD is actively engaged." - "CFD is now operating defensively, making significant progress. No injuries reported thus far." - "The fire remains under control on Halsted Street. A 3-11 alarm persists. Expect prolonged activity as crews chase remaining hotspots. Official cause of the fire is currently under investigation." An official media briefing was scheduled to take place shortly after 3:00 AM at the intersection of 63rd and Halsted Streets. At approximately 3:05 AM, officials announced that the 3-11 alarm had been officially lifted. Although the fire was declared secure, hotspots continued to be addressed to ensure complete extinguishment. No civilian evacuations or injuries were reported during the incident. For those interested in visual coverage, several contributors generously shared their photos and videos. One image captured the dramatic nighttime scene of the fire engulfing the building, while another showcased the impressive coordination between fire engines and aerial apparatus. A third photograph highlighted the dedication of the firefighters, particularly members of the Snorkel Squad, as they worked tirelessly to contain the blaze. This incident underscores the importance of coordinated emergency responses and highlights the bravery and professionalism displayed by Chicago's first responders. Updates may follow as investigations continue and the community assesses any long-term impacts.
