We've been glued to the TV watching live coverage of a fire on the 29th floor of the 43-story LaSalle Bank building. It's been burning since 6:30 and they're just getting the flames doused now by hitting the building with water from an adjacent structure. It's a 5-11 Alarm fire with 2 Special Alarms, so a third of the city's fire crews are at this one building. Up until now, the fire's been growing and growing and growing... but never jumping floors. In fact, from the many helicopter shots, there's firefighters in the offices just below the fire. It's surreal looking... All everybody could talk about is how this is similar to and now different from the Cook County building fire in October 2003 due to changes in Fire Department procedures for high rise fires. Update: The fire just jumped to the 30th floor, all the way on the west side of the building - They're still fighting it. There's all kinds of debris shooting out the west side windows. They've added a 3rd Special Alarm. (The highest they can go is a 5-11 and 5 Specials). Whoa - the whole 30th floor looks like it's going up in flames...
