This came in on Saturday from Josh Boyajian:
Tonight I followed a header into the city to 3318 w 38th street. Engine 65 and Truck 52 arrived and found heavy fire in sector 1 on the first and second floors. Engine 109 backed down and lead out a second line to the second floor. Here are some pictures I took.
Broadview firefighters were called to the scene of a fire in a three-story residential building overnight and arrived to find residents on the top floor that were ready to drop a child into a blanket being held by neighbors.
Firefighters rescued several children from the top floor of a three-story building during an extra-alarm fire early this morning in west suburban Broadview, authorities said.
Fire crews from four suburbs responded to the 2-11 alarm fire in the 2100 block of South 16th Avenue, authorities said.
