2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago on Ravenswood Avenue, 12-22-18

The second of two 2-11 Alarm fires in Chicago on 12/22/18 was at 6417 N Ravenswood Avenue

 

This from Eric Haak:

Chicago had a 2-11 Alarm fire at 6417 N Ravenswood Saturday afternoon (12/22). The fire was in a 1-story commercial structure and was contained mostly to the 75×75 rear section that had a truss roof. The fire eventually burned through the roof and Tower Ladder 23 and the new Tower Ladder 21 were used to bring the fire under control.

  Squad 7 was dispatched and almost made it in but Squad 2 was released from Clark and 7 was diverted to fill in at Squad 2’s house.

  All change companies on the still. BN 15 for RIT was a long run unless it was from a change. Between the (2) 2-11’s that was half the city’s BCs on the far north side unless some were released from the 1st 2-11. Interesting to see what C/Q chiefs came north on the 2nd 2-11. Did Sqd 7 make it in or did Sqd 2 pick it up from the 1st fire?

  Nice to see the new Tower 21 in action! I am guessing this was Tower 21’s first fire?
