Working fire in Chicago, 6-9-17

This from Drew Gresik:

The 18th Battalion battled a working fire in a red-X building at 3849 on Flournoy. Chicago Police helicopter ‘PH1’ called it in on the Zone and reported that there was a house on fire and it was really cooking. Engine 95 deck-gunned it on arrival as they had heavy fire showing from the 2, and then companies led out (2) 2.5” lines while performing an exterior attack. A third line was led out as Squad 1’s Snorkel was set up and flowing water in the vacant lot on Side D.

  Do any of you members assigned to the squads have opinions on these new snorkels? How are they working out? We haven’t heard anything about agility, design, performance and limitations.

  Good to know that all 3 of the city snorkels have had a working fire since they were placed in service. Nice shot of the crew working in the bucket of Squad 1A!

  All three of the new city based snorkels have now been flowed water at a fire scene.
