Cicero Box Alarm 7-31-12

 

Steve Redick photo

The Cicero Fire Department requested a Box Alarm in the overnight hours of Tuesday, July 31st. Steve Redick took in the fire and submitted images with the following information:

1800 S Cicero Ave..early am..Dollar Store

This fire was held in check by sprinklers…high humidity kept the smoke conditions very low and as a result good photos were very difficult to get. I’m told a wall was breached in the large vacant commercial that made up sector 4 attached..I believe it was for inspection purposes..

The division 10 MVU was requested but as fate would have it it was oos..

  I’d say Cicero & Harvey are the busiest suburbs. Even more than Div 20 (Maywood, Bellwood, etc)…except from “back in the day”! LOL

  Those were great shots, Steve. It’s great to see shots of a tillered truck company in use and it’s even greater to see a full sized Snorkel being used.
