Vintage Chicago fire scenes

This message comes from Steve Redick:

I remember a great photo taken during a fire at a hotel on Montrose Avenue, a dramatic high-rise blaze on South Shore Drive (which had several fires in that area), and a tragic fire at the Conrad Hilton Hotel. My dad and I watched it all unfold. I still recall seeing bed sheets hanging out of the windows as people tried to signal for help.

These images and stories remind me of how powerful and emotional those moments were. It's incredible how much history can be captured in a single photo. The Montclair Hotel, the high-rises on South Shore Drive, and the tragic fire at the Conrad Hilton—each one tells a different story, but they all reflect the intensity of life in the city during that time.
