This from Josh Boyajian:

Berwyn had a full still today @ 2216 s Elmwood. E903 had smoke showing from the 1st floor of a 3 sty brick. They dropped two lines while T904 made the roof and vented. Fire was contained to one unit of the apartment building. North Riverside was auto aid and Stickney changed quarters. Here are my pictures.
