A building on Chicago's Southwest Side that contains a fire extinguisher manufacturing business went up in flames late Thursday (3/19/15), prompting a hazardous materials response that required more than 150 firefighters. A portion of the building…collapsed under the intense flames. The fire ultimately elevated to three alarms, requiring the help of 156 firefighters and 26 pieces of equipment. …A fire official said getting enough water to the structure proved difficult. "We had one engine feed another engine to another engine until we got water on the fire," said 1st Deputy Fire Commissioner Charles Stewart. (NBC News Chicago)
The irony is great--a building designed to manufacture fire extinguishers made no provision for putting out its own fire! The Bible says something similar about our own spiritual condition. READ Ga. 6:1. “Watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.”
