Chicago Still & Box Alarm 12-13-11

Hank Sajovic took in a fire yesterday in Chicago and provided several images and the following description:

On December 13, 2011 companies in the 14th Battalion responded to a still alarm for a fire at 4018 W. Cermak Rd.  Engine 38 arrived to find a fire in a 2-story brick apartment building measuring 25 x 60.  Truck 32, the second due truck, arrived and went to their assignment in the rear where they found the back of the structure heavily involved.  The captain notified the 14th battalion and with that report he requested a Box alarm.  Three lines were used to control the fire. The building was reportedly vacant and the fire was suspicious. The Office of Fire Investigations was requested to the scene.
