Working fire in Cicero, 11-25-24

Nov 30

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 2 Comments

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

Working Fire in Cicero on 11/25/24 @ 1620 s 58th Ct. Sounds like they chased fire in the walls of this 1.5-story brick bungalow. Engine 1 had a skid load lead out and Truck 2 had numerous holes in the roof.
