Recently, I came across a brochure from Ahrens Fox that included a striking photo of a massive grain elevator fire in Chicago from 1939. I’ve shared two additional press photos along with the first part of the Underwriters’ report on the incident. If you take the time to go through it, it’s really fascinating stuff. This was one of the most intense fires in the city’s history, and the response from emergency services was nothing short of impressive. It’s definitely worth checking out — more updates are coming soon.
In addition to the text, there are several historical images available for reference. You’ll find pictures of the fire scene featuring fireboats and other emergency vehicles, as well as detailed reports from the Chicago Board of Underwriters. These documents give a rare and valuable glimpse into how such large-scale disasters were handled back then.
If you're interested in early 20th-century fire response or Chicago's industrial history, this is a must-see collection. Stay tuned for more material in the days ahead.
