This from Bill Post:

There is a news headline that Truck 56 and Ambulance 46’s bay door is out of order. They are parked out during the day while at night it sounds like Truck 56 is at Tower Ladder 23 (Engine 108) and Ambulance 46 is at Engine 79. They don’t know how long it will be before they get the parts for repairing the bay door.

3-11 alarm fire and EMS Plan I at Resurrection Hospital, 12-11-14

Dec 15

This from Steve Redick:

The string of 11th battalion workers continues. This one was at Resurrection Hospital, a major hospital complex about a block from my house. Came in as a “cold box” and companies reported a fire in the chapel area on the 2nd floor. The alarm eventually rose to a 3-11 and EMS plan 1 with a special call for the MVU from O’Hare Field. This brought the brand new Engine 9 as well.

Not much to see from the outside but it sounded like they had quite a bit of hidden fire that was difficult to expose, as well as difficulties ventilating the fire area. It also sounded like they relocated numerous patients within the building. A moderate amount of light smoke was visible at the roofline for a bit. A very unusual incident to say the least, and I’m sure there were issues and concerns that I could not see from the outside.
