Here's a detailed breakdown of the events surrounding the 4-11 Alarm fire that occurred on Saturday at 2444 W. 21st Street, compiled from various sources:
At 13:08, Engine 23 responded to a report of rubbish near 2500 W. Cullerton St., but their primary focus was on the fire at 2444 W. 21st St. Initial resources included Engine 23, Engine 109, Truck 32, Truck 7, Battalion 4, Tower Ladder 5, Squad 1, Command Van 2-7-1, Battalion 14, and Ambulance 34.
By 13:13, a Still & Box Alarm was issued by Battalion 4 due to visible smoke on the second floor of a three-story, 200x100 structure, with heavy smoke also coming from several first-floor windows. Additional units dispatched included Engine 18, Engine 26, Truck 8, Ambulance 33, Deputy District 1, Battalion 15, Battalion 2, and Paramedic Field Chief 4-5-1.
The situation escalated rapidly at 13:20 when a 2-11 Alarm was called in, reporting heavy fire throughout the entire three-story warehouse, measuring approximately 200x150 feet. Firefighters transitioned to a defensive strategy, and Battalion 2 requested the closure of the CTA Pink Line. Units involved included Engine 28, Engine 38, Engine 39, Engine 103, Truck 48, Tower Ladder 54, Truck 52, Battalion 12, Battalion 3, Battalion 19, Air Mask 6-4-4, Light Wagon 9-1-5, EMS Assistant Deputy Chief 4-4-11, Special Operations Battalion 5-1-5, and Deputy Fire Commissioner 2-1-28.
At 13:31, a reserve snorkel unit was requested after a corrected size-up indicated the building was at least 300x150 feet. Engine 107 and Engine 35, along with 6-6-1 (Reserve Snorkel), were dispatched to assist.
By 13:38, the alarm was upgraded to a 3-11 Alarm following the request for two additional tower ladders. Units added to the operation included Engine 8, Engine 65, Engine 99, Engine 44, Tower Ladder 10, and Tower Ladder 39.
At 13:45, the alarm reached its maximum level of 4-11 Alarm, with an EMS Plan 1 and Level 1 HazMat response initiated.

As firefighting efforts continued, at 13:58, it was reported that two master streams from 2-7-1/Battalion 4 on the west side of the building were having limited success. At 14:00, EMS Plan 1 was secured, and by 14:04, 2-1-3 took command, switching all officers to Channel 5 Command.
Progress was made as of 14:30, with 11 master streams now operational. The gas company was also working to shut off the main supply in Sector 1, while one line was connected to the sprinkler system in Sector 4.
The fire was finally brought under control around 15:46 when the 4-11 Alarm was officially struck out by Battalion 3.
