2-Alarm fire in Evanston junk yard, 8-31-14
On Sunday, Evanston issued a second alarm for a fire at North Shore Towing, where a large number of junk cars and tires were involved. Tim Olk was on the scene and captured several powerful images that highlight the intensity of the situation.
"Due to all the grease, oil, and other fluids, everyone needs new gear, and the hose was left there," one firefighter noted.
The fire created a dangerous environment, with thick smoke and hazardous materials making it difficult for crews to manage. Despite the challenges, firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading.
Here are some of the photos taken by Tim Olk:
