Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 3 Comments

This from Daniel Hynd:

The Darien-Woodridge FPD responded to a house fire in the 7900 Blk of Fairmount Ave in unincorporated Downers Grove last night. Crews arrived on scene with heavy fire through the roof of a 1-story, single family ranch reported to be under construction. Companies were defensive for most of the operation and fire was under control around 30 minutes after arrival.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are a few images taken in Chicago last weekend. This was a vacant home in the 19th Battalion. There was fire in the basement, first floor, and attic and most of the initial attack was done defensively. Eventually companies went interior and mopped up.

2-Alarm fire in New Lenox, 10-17-24

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

Excerpts from fox32chicago.com:

A fire started just before 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Tri-Star Cabinet & Top Co., Inc., which is located at 1000 South Cedar Road in New Lenox.

New Lenox Fire Protection District (NLFPD) firefighters arrived on the scene and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the building. There were about 60–70 employees inside at the time it began. All of them were evacuated safely, and no injuries were reported.

It took firefighters four hours to get the alarm fire under control.

2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 9-8-24

Sep 23

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

This from Eric Haak:

A still & box was called for around 0715hrs followed by a 2-11 on Sunday morning, September 8th in Chicago’s 19th Battalion. Engine Company 54 deck gunned most of the heavy fire on the second floor. By the time companies led out, the fire had advanced to the third and was blowing out the front of the building. A RAM and several hand lines were used from the exterior to bring the fire under control in quick order. A tower ladder and snorkel were set up but I don’t believe they were ever used.
