2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 1-8-17

Here's a report from Eric Haak:

At 07:15 this morning (January 8th), the Chicago Fire Department responded to a fire at 4734 W. Huron in a 20×70, two-and-a-half story frame apartment building. Engine 117 arrived on scene less than a minute after being dispatched and confirmed the presence of a fire. Battalion 18 soon followed and reported that porches had extended into the first and second floors of the original structure, with the "D" side also involved. They requested additional resources, and the alarm was eventually upgraded to a 2-11. Temperatures were once again in the single digits this morning, making conditions especially challenging for firefighters.
