This from Wayne VanBeveren:

I took in an alley garage in Calumet Park today (1/19/22) at 12617 S. Throop St. Not much to see from a fire perspective but I thought I’d share some of what I took. The older white explorer is the Blue Island chief”s buggy, the newer explorer is used by Merrionette Park’s on-call chief.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some images from a still & box alarm in Chicago back a couple of weeks ago. Companies were forced to go defensive and Tower Ladder 54 was set up to finish the job.
