Vintage 5-11 +1 Special in Chicago, 10-10-71

I recently came across these incredible photos shared by Eric Haak. They were taken during a special 5-11 alarm fire that broke out at 11:15 AM on October 10, 1971, at 430 N. Damen. From what I can gather, it seems like there was a structure fire involving a yard filled with pallets or lumber. In the last photo, you can clearly see Engine 14 responding to the scene.
The images are part of Eric’s collection, though unfortunately, the photographer remains unnamed. These pictures really capture the essence of firefighting back then—both the chaos and the professionalism.
Here are some of the images he shared. As you’ll notice, they’re all in black and white, which adds to their vintage charm. The quality of the photographs is remarkable, considering how long ago they were taken.

And here’s one more shot, this time featuring Engine 4 in action. It’s fascinating to see how things have evolved over the years when it comes to firefighting equipment and techniques.

These photos remind me just how important it is to preserve history, especially when it comes to documenting moments that shaped our communities. It’s always exciting to stumble upon such treasures, and I’m grateful to Eric for sharing them with us.
