Another Chicago Fire Motivates Code Changes 12/7/2004
The five-alarm fire broke out in the early evening of Dec. 6 at LaSalle Bank's corporate headquarters and continued to burn for almost six hours. It sent one-third of the city's firefighting resources to the scene and injured at least 35 people.
The blaze apparently damaged most contents on the 29th floor of the 45-story office building. It eventually spread to the 30th floor before firefighers struck it out around midnight on Dec. 7.
