This from Eric Haak:

I took in this fire about 1330 hrs Saturday afternoon in Chicago’s 23rd Battalion. Fire was on the second floor of a vacant 25×40 2-flat in the 7200 block of South Constance. Companies working were Engine 126 & Truck 49, Engine 72 & Tower Ladder 34, with Truck 16 and Battalion 17 being RIT. It was hard to get any quality rig shots at this one due to the narrow streets and heavy tree cover. The fire was knocked fairly quick but companies had quite a bit of overhaul on this one and were on scene for a little over an hour. Engine 126 was using old Engine 56 as a spare rig.

This from Eric Haak:

I was fairly close to this incident so I decided to take it in. This is at least the second fire this month at this abandoned industrial building which is a block from Engine 125’s quarters. This building has a row of old transom windows that open up along the length of the roof for ventilation which is where the fire was located this time. When I arrived there were small flames burning across the length of the peak of this transom section. The fire was knocked fairly quickly but companies stayed on scene for over an hour working to overhaul this entire section of the roof. I am not sure but I believe the spare engine is Engine 68. I believe Engine 125 was further in the complex and could not be seen from the street.
