This from Dan Shevlin:
Still & Box Alarm Midway Park Pl. & Mayfield. 1/10/14. Still time 0715hrs. Large frame 2 1/2 stories 30 x 60 or so. I was told they had a good fire in the rear. Battalion 13 boxed it, I’m assuming because of frozen hydrants. Long lead outs for 96 & 117. 2 lines. Fire was well under control by the time I got there.

It’s at times like this those of us who remember, wish that Engine 67 was still around. Engine 67 was located with Truck 46 and the old 23rd Battalion at 4666 w Fulton. While Truck 46 was taken out service on November 16th 1971 (along with Truck 43) Engine 67 lasted until September of 1983 and the last 3 years Engine 67 was sharing quarters with Engine 117 on Chicago avenue. Here is the irony , both Trucks 46 and 43 are (in effect) back in permanent service as Tower Ladder 14 has taken over Truck 46’s old still district and Truck 12 has taken over Truck 43’s old still district.

It rekindle and it went up good again in the walls. They pulled a second still and box around 9:03 am. 96 and 117 were on the still and box on Lorel so I dont who were the still companies.
