This is from Steve Redick:
> Recently, I came across a brochure from Ahrens Fox, and it included a striking photo of the massive grain elevator fire that happened in Chicago in 1939. I've shared two additional press photos and the first part of the Underwriters' report on the incident. If you take the time to read through these documents, you'll find them fascinating. It was a huge fire, and the city's response was truly remarkable. Definitely worth checking out — there’s more to come.
I’ve also included some images from the event, showing the fire scene with fireboats and detailed reports from the Chicago Board of Underwriters. These materials give a real sense of what happened that day and how the emergency services responded. Whether you're into history, firefighting, or just curious about the past, this is a great look back at a significant moment in Chicago's history.
