Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 3-26-17 (more)

This from Steve Redick:

Sunday evening, a massive industrial complex vacant and in disrepair. A rubbish type fire deep in the building produced smoke conditions that made interior operations very dangerous. This job took a few hours and required the use of search lines as well as TICs. Not much to see from the outside but some varying smoke conditions.

  I thought the same thing Mike. It looks like everything is brand new or reserve, I can’t recall ever seeing that. I absolutely love the photo of squad 2 by it self. It looks like a promotional photo for Rosenbauer

  Outstanding fire ground photos. Does anyone have a good idea how many spare rigs are on the street on an average day? I counted three in the photos. That’s one third of the apparatus that responded. Is this an accurate random sample? If so, yikes.

  Thanks in advance for any replies.
