Firefighters responded to an extra-alarm blaze Monday morning at a liquor store in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.
The building where the fire occurred houses both a restoration store in front, and a liquor store in back, Jim McDonough, District 1 Fire Chief said during a press conference. The blaze quickly became difficult and dangerous to fight due to the fire spreading onto building's bowstring truss roof, McDonough added.
"The fire got up in the trusses," McDonough said."We needed to evacuate. It's one of the most dangerous fires we come across.""We had to protect the buildings on both sides," McDonough said, of the residential and commercial buildings surrounding the property."I can't say how it started, but it started in the rear, in the liquor store," McDonough said.The 2 11 2913 Archer now struck out. Crews continue to be defensive.
