Paxton Hotel Fire
This photo from Chicagoland Video for you fans they have a video of the fire that you can get by going on their web site. "Chicago Fire Video.com"
Paxton Hotel was a single room occupancy hotel. located at 1432 N. La Salle street
On March23, 1993 the first company that arrived at the fire saw people hanging from the windows and ask for a box, it turned into a 5-11 and 1 special alarm. Some 24 engines, 10 trucks and 15 ambulances responded. The firemen rescued over 100 people with ground ladders on the upper floors, but the first floor windows had burglar bars and the guess in them could not escape, some 19 people died. I went to this fire but did not have my camera like I did most of the time.
