Chicago companies were dispatched to a reported fire Tuesday evening at 2626 W. Roosevelt Road, a vacant, block long building bounded by Washtenaw and the railroad tracks. Engine 107 whose house is around the corner was first on the scene and reported fire on the second floor. Battalion 4 requested a still and box alarm reporting a two-story, large brick warehouse. Early on the fire fight went defensive with elevated master streams and a deck gun from Engine 107. The fire was upgraded to a 2-11 within about 20 minutes and a 3-11 was requested a half hour later by 2-1-22 when there were no longer companies in the staging area. A Level I Haz Mat was also requested after the 3-11 was in. Tower Ladder 5, Tower Ladder 10 and Squad 1’s Snorkel were working with master streams on Roosevelt Road. Roughly an hour into the fire companies began moving inside to hit the remaining spot fires before the fire was struck out between around 9:30PM.
