Hi there,
I thought you'd find this interesting. It’s a story shared by Jim Skrabel about an old fire he recently rediscovered while scanning some of his old 35mm photos. These pictures were taken during his time as a firefighter, and they bring back some vivid memories.
The fire in question is the River North Art Gallery Fire that happened on April 15, 1989, at 361 W. Superior Street. According to Jim, it was a significant incident classified as a 5-11, with possibly one or two special calls involved. He mentioned hearing that Aerial Tower 3 had responded to the call, so he quickly grabbed his camera and rushed toward the scene. By the time he arrived downtown—where he was living in Cicero at the time—the fire had already escalated to a 4-11 level.
Jim shared these photos with me, and they really capture the intensity and chaos of the situation. As someone who worked in Darien-Woodridge F.P.D., he has always had a keen eye for documenting such events.
Here are some of the images he took that day. They’re quite striking, showing both the scale of the damage and the dedication of the firefighters working tirelessly to control the blaze.

It’s fascinating to see how much detail can be captured through photography, especially when it comes to documenting historical moments like this fire. Jim’s work really highlights the bravery and skill required in firefighting, and it’s clear these photos mean a lot to him as part of his career journey.
Take care,
[Your Name]
