I took in the 2-11 in Blue Island at 13039 Western Ave on 9-7-23. I arrived well after the fire was knocked, but got some pretty good apparatus photos.

From Blue Island Firefighters 3547
Last night on 2/28/2023 the City of Blue Island Illinois council members approved unanimously our collective bargaining agreement. This agreement is potentially one of the best agreements for the City of Blue Island residents in regards to medical care. In 2019 Metro South Hospital closed causing delays for patients needing definitive medical care. With this agreement Blue Island Fire Department will be upgrading its ambulances to provide advanced life support services. This will greatly benefit the citizens of Blue Island. We would like to thank the members of Blue Island who worked diligently and professionally alongside the members of Local 3547 to provide this service to our residents and also residents of neighboring communities.
thanks Dennis

This from 312 FIRE PHOTOS:
Blue Island, Illinois had a box alarm on Sept. 21st, 2022 in a 2-sty brick home that was well-involved when the first companies arrived. An aggressive interior attack by Blue Island and Posen resulted in a victim being pulled out. Companies were hampered by the overgrowth around the property and the overhead power lines running in front. Most photos can be seen here:

Excerpts from wgntv.com:
A mobile home community in Blue Island is holding onto hope after an elderly mother and her daughter were seriously injured in a fire Saturday in the 13700 block of Division. Neighbors looked on as firefighters rescued an elderly woman and her adult daughter from the blaze. The older woman was unconscious when firefighters pulled her out. Both were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The fire marshal is investigating what caused the home to go up in flames.
