Drew Gresik took in a MABAS 2nd Alarm this evening in Brookfield and submitted the following images and description.

Fire was reported showing from the garage of a 2-story ordinary home in the 3500 block of Rosemear. The fire soon demolished the garage and spread quickly to the home upgrading the fire to a 2-alarm fire. It was upgraded to a full MABAS Division 10 response, and even became inter-divisional with departments from MABAS Division 11, 20, and 21 responding. There were 4 lines stretched and almost all crews were working.
