I'm confortably sitting here on the east coast, reading through, and I have to say your posts are absolutely fascinating.

Fire is still burning in some areas of the building. The flames go out, then they start back up again.

hmmm. Where in McHenry? Wonder if I know them. We lived there for over 20 years. We live in Southern Indiana now.

Well, SOMEbody on FR knows something about almost anything.

I wish we could find a FR firefighter who could give us a more realistic assessment of what's going on in real time. I didn't usually come in until after everything was out.

We have a firefighter and an arson investigator somewhere around here. Let's see... what did I do with them... Hmmm....

Well it sounds like they are starting to get it under control. Hopefully that is the case. Good night all.

Hey, help me out. Doesn't ABN-AMRO own this building?

Yes, I believe you're correct!

My office is less than a mile from the building in question, and I've been living in a highrise on the 36th floor of a different building for the last couple of months.

My brother in Iowa knew all this, but not where. So when he saw the news, he called me to make sure that wasn't where I was...heh...

I was a little kid and it was pretty perplexing to see the cover come off and be told I was looking at a duck.

From that angle, it looks more like an orangutan! :-)

Firefighters are on both 29 and 30. Sweeping across both active fire floors. Fire appears to be contained to the SW corner of 30.

It looks like they are winning now.

I can understand why. It's unnerving to hear they aren't sure if anybody is still in there.

My mother's in Deerwood Estates on the border of McHenry and Bull Valley. My brother's about 5 minutes away on Glenbrook.

It's funny you're in Indiana. They're moving to Fort Wayne -- my brother in January and my mother following him in February.

That's good news. I have to tear myself away now and get some sleep. Have a good night, all.

Excellent. Looks like their new high-rise strategy is working pretty well.

You know it's gotta be HOT in there! Prayers for the guys on the sharp end . . .

Good night.

I gotta hit the hay myself. I think I'll go to bed while it looks like they are winning.

Sure hope so. That's what I thought two hours ago.
