More from Steve Redick on the 2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, October 14, 2019

I arrived late to this scene, and by the time I got there, they had already declared an emergency evacuation. The horns were blaring because an internal collapse had just happened. I managed to take some good photos, but I was shooting into the sun a lot, and the thick smoke made it hard to get clear shots. The building itself was pretty unusual with some tricky access points.
