LaGrange Box Alarm 3-23-13

This from Josh Boyajian:

LaGrange had a box alarm @ 515 s Waiola. Engine 1112 had heavy smoke and fire showing O/A and upgraded to a MABAS 10 Box Alarm, which brought in companies from all over the division.  Here are my pictures along with a picture of Downers Grove’s New Ambulance they just resently put into service for Medic 2.

Here is a picture of our old Snorkel that i have from my old photos. I couldn’t find out the specifications but here you go. Also i attached two of my dad’s photos from the 80’s. One is from a Fire in Berwyn at Ridgeland and Cermak, and the other one was at a different fire on Cermak Road in Berwyn.
