Working fire in Chicago, 12-1-19

Dec 4

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | No Comments

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

Chicago had a working fire on the northwest side Sunday morning @ 2230 N Narragansett 12-1-19. Engine Co. 125 had a fire in the walls and attic in a 1.5 sty frame house. Two lines were lead out during the fire. Truck 53 and Squad 2 cut numerous holes in the roof. Looked to be a real labor intensive fire. Engine 125 is still in a spare engine after their crash many months ago. I hear that they are going to get their regular assigned E-One back in the coming week or so.

Rundown:

Engines 125 – 68

Trucks 53 – 58

Battalion 8

WRKF – RIT Battalion 7, RIT Truck 57, Squad 2, 2-7-2

This from Eric Haak:

The Harvey Fire Department responded to the report of a commercial building fire in the 15400 block of Broadway in the early morning hours of November 16th. The fire was in a truss roof warehouse and communicated to a 2-story apartments over commercial building. The blaze was elevated to a MABAS box and these images were taken hours into the incident as companies were defensive on the original building early on.

This from Eric Haak:

Companies from Chicago’s 6th Battalion responded to the report of a house fire just before dawn on Saturday, November 23rd at 6545 S Oakley. Per PD at the scene, the fire was already well advanced in the rear of the structure. Police officers were met with the report of someone trapped inside but could not make entry due to heavy smoke conditions. A victim was eventually located and transported, succumbing to his injuries later that day.

Still & Box Alarm Fire in Chicago, 11/7/19

Nov 8

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | No Comments

This from Drew Gresik:

Here are a few images from an early morning Still & Box at 728 N Lotus Ave in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood. Fire through the roof of a vacant 2.5 story frame. Four total lines were led out, E96 utilized their deck gun, and TL23 employed an aerial master stream. Photography was greatly hampered by a mix of sleet and thick brush on the property. I included a combination of natural light as well as flash photos so viewers can see the effect of a camera-mounted flash in rain/sleet/snow.

Interesting to note this fire came in as many companies (including TL14) were still committed at a 2-11, 1644 N Spaulding Ave.

A full gallery with more images will be live on Friday on our site

More from Steve Redick on the 2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 10-14-19

I was late getting to this job and even so as I arrived they declared an emergency evacuation and sounded the horns as an internal collapse had just occurred. Got some decent shots but was shooting into the sun quite a bit and the low hanging smoke made photos difficult. This was an unusual building with some difficult access issues.

All the images can be seen here:
