Still and Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 3/12/19

This from Steve Redick:

Took this in around 2230 Tuesday night at 2258 S. Blue Island Avenue. It sounded promising. A metal clad warehouse butted up against another building. Interesting that the size-up was no exposure problem yet it seemed obvious that there was a high potential, in fact they reported  some fire in the adjoining building on fireground. TL 5 with the new rig as well as 28 with a new pumper and I guess what must be a spare command van.

  well they got 2 in 2006 f650 I believe and then 2 in 2008 also f650 then a stepvan in 2015-2016 and then another not long ago so if they have 6 fairly new ones and run 4 or 5 command vans why would they need this as a spare that makes 7 commands
