Eyewitness accounts describe a wildfire tearing through south Randolph and Water streets, roaring across buildings toward Lake Michigan. The blaze reached Lake Street and panorama, forcing mass evacuations along Lincoln Park while a city’s business core burned, with houses and hotels collapsing and rescue efforts overwhelmed by flame and wind.
