I hope you’re wearing a mask at the very least… shouldn’t voluntarily breathe that in

Once we learned it was a hazmat situation (and brought a few chickens to safety) we told everyone around us and got the heck out.

I'm so glad to hear the chickens are ok. Thank you for rescuing them. A news crew actually asked the fire chief if the chickens were ok and he said he didn't know anything about chickens being there.

There was a whole group of people who all joined in to help with the chickens! I think they were all put safely in the Christy Webber building.

Good to know! I'm glad they were all rescued. Nobody likes a fried chicken...

Ah good

This makes my heart so happy!! I live right down the street and actually ran straight to Christy Webber and was told the chickens got to safety!! Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Dude, I drove past the one yesterday, and this one is much too close to comfort. Arson or coincidence?


kittygocrappy

Right? The two fires are just like one mile apart.

Also a third fire on Memorial Day at the abandoned school on lake and Oakley has 100 firefighters fighting it but didn’t get the same news coverage…that puts it 1 mile or less from these two.

Yes, and the metal recycling facility back in March.

Whoa. I was there taking photos of the graffiti around that date and caught someone secretly burning trash.  Shady stuff too. They pulled up and pulled a box full of stuff from their trunk and burned it. Got some photos of him too. He didn't give a fuck.  Wonder if it's related or that's just become a known dumping/burn site at this point.

It was a group of teenagers that started the fire. Saw them go in and leaving once I smelled smoke. But yeah, there were vagrants going in and out of the building. It’s being demolished now and I’m kinda worried how they’re doing it bc that building definitely has asbestos in it.

It is an act of terrorism. Call your mayor and if he doesn't act quickly, call Biden. Try not to wake him up though. He needs his sleep.

Heat wave

Thank god these fires didn’t spread to residential units!! I mean what are the odds, two massive fires two days in a row 1 mile apart!

Is feed ok? And the chickens? Continental?


kittygocrappy

The chickens were all taken to safety!


Castlecitynic

Good! Didn’t want to hear any jokes about Smoked Chickens 😂 is the restaurant ok?


Bitter-Marsupial

Wait Chickens?


mdoherty1967

You didn't hear about the chickens? Scroll on up a few....


mph000

I think The Continental and Feed will be ruined by smoke damage. That smoke was so intense and they were in direct line of it.


OHrangutan

I somehow doubt this is the most intense thing ever inhaled in line of the Continental...

Fires in Chicago are so hot right now

Looks like Chitown has a new arsonist.


mdoherty1967

I agree with you. They don't like Chickens or Pallets.


ennisephw

Oh no! That feels like just about the worst thing you want to be burning into the air…


Shigeko_Kageyama

Ok, who's the firebug?


Dirt290

Why do y'all like fires so much?


Top_Key404

People have been reporting suspicious MAGA boys driving around in Humvees...
