2-Alarm fire in Elmhurst, 1-26-17 (part 7)

This from Steve Redick:

Thursday afternoon, an Elmhurst truck company returning from an alarm came upon this job at a bridal shop that was apparently closed at the time of the fire. I arrived after the 2nd alarm units. Three elevated master streams were used as well as a unique in-line operation between two quints supplying a multiversal. Conditions were overcast with frequent snow squalls and shifting winds caused a wide variation in the smoke conditions throughout the incident. The fire building was a total loss, with to my knowledge, little or no damage to any exposures.

This from josh Boyajian:

I went to the fire Thursday afternoon in Elmhurst. Fire was in a 1-sty commercial building that housed a bridal shop. Companies had heavy fire on arrival and shortly after requested a box alarm. There were several elevated master streams working from both Elmhurst tower ladders, Bensenville’s tower, and Addison’s quint. I arrived about 1 hour into the fire. Here are several pictures i took. The entire gallery is on our website.
Enjoy,
Josh
