Chicago FD conducts high-rise drill

This from Steve Redick:

Saturday (5/21/16) at 425 S Wabash, the CFD conducted a very extensive drill using simulated smoke and hose pressurized with air I was told. Took a few photos from outside. Finally got to see the high rise unit.

3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 4-29-16

This from Larry Shapiro:

Chicago had a 3-11 Alarm fire last night (4/29/16) at 3327 W. 48th Place. Companies had a four-story, 100×300 building filled with mattresses. I arrived at the tail end of the incident and thought I’d share a few apparatus shots. I know that several other contributors were there from the early stages, so here are some of the specialty pieces including the Mobile Battery Vehicle 6-3-9, Rehab Unit 5-7-1, 5-11 Club Canteen 4-0-2, Comm Van 2-7-4, and 9-2-4 the MVU from O’Hare which was special called, along with an all red buggy and another with blue lights.
