Chicago Still & Box Alarm fire 8-21-13

This from Drew Gresik:

Took in the Still and Box at 2324 S. California. Fire was in a vacant 2.5-story frame, ops went defensive around the time these photos were taken. Tower 5 was moved into Sector 1 and Squad 1’s Snorkel was working with a master stream in Sector 2. Fire appeared to be in the attic/second floor. I didn’t see any flames but there was a lot of smoke. Here’s a few shots.

Chicago Still & Box Alarm fire 7-24-13

This from Drew Gresik:

Hey guys,
I took a quick ride to the West Side today for a Still and Box at 742 N Pine. Engine 96 reported to Main FAO “we got a worker, Office” as they pulled out of quarters. Engine 117 arrived first-in with the tower and reported a Red X 2.5-story going on the 2nd floor and attic in the rear. By the time I arrived on scene, about 20 minutes later, heavy fire was showing from throughout the top floors. Engines 96, 117, and 113 were pumping while Tower 14 had a master stream. Trucks 26 and 29 were on scene as well. Engine 23 and Trucks 35 and 53 were in staging, but I don’t think they were used. Interesting note, Engine 95, Truck 7 and Battalion 4 had a small fire on Kostner just south of Madison right as companies were stretching at this job. Here’s some of my shots.
Thanks,
Drew Gresik
