This from Eric Haak:
At approximately 8:15 Sunday morning, a fire broke out in this 25×50 1.5 story brick on the 900 block of north Harding in Chicago’s 13th Battalion. Engine 95 was first due and reported the home to be fully involved on arrival. There was a enclosed wood frame porch at the rear of the structure where it appeared the fire originated. The home had been vacant for a while and had several break-ins. The fire eventually communicated to the home to the north and caused damage to the frame dormer of a 1.5 story ordinary. Companies working on the scene were Engines 95 and 76, Trucks 35 and 26, Truck 36 was RIT with the 12th Battalion.

On Friday, Chicago companies fought a fire in a bugalow at 948 N. Homan on the city’s west side. Dan McInerney was in the city at the time and took in the fire. He arrived after the fire had been knocked down and submitted several images and the following description.
Seconds after the Main Fao dispatched Bn12 on the air to the still, 4-4-11 pulled up and requested an emergency still and box for people trapped in a 1.5 story house with heavy fire throughout and fire exposing a similar house in sector 4. First due E44 arrived and dropped a leader line into the first floor as Truck 36 performed a primary and roof ventilation. The search was negative, the house turned out to be vacant. Second due E95 went west on Augusta and brought their leader line to the rear. Second due TL14 did a search of the exposure and roof ventilation of same. 3rd due engine E76 brought a line into the exposure building
