Still and Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 12-23-08

Dec 24

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 1 Comment

This from Dan McInerney – from 14 years ago yesterday:

This was a fire I took in after work in 08

Still and Box at 5922 W Erie, 2 1/2-story frame, 25×50, totally involved. Box on arrival by Truck 29

Got there 3-4 minutes after 96 and the group.

Tower Ladder 14 members were on the roof.

Right after the 4th image was taken, 2-2-4 ordered members off the roof since there were no lines on the second floor and conditions were deteriorating in the attic beneath them.

Standby at O’Hare Airport, 1-7-20

Jan 11

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene | 1 Comment

This from Dan McInerney:

United Airlines (B772, N782UA, ORD-NRT) 1/7/20

This UA 772 made it to northern WI before turning around to come back with engine trouble. The Chicago Fire Department responded with a full ARFF assignment and escorted the plane back to the gate. As the plane turns you can see they had to shut the #2 engine down as evidenced by the lack of exhaust blur. Seen in the pictures is only a small part of the ARFF response; the Chicago Fire Department has the largest contingent of staffed ARFF vehicles and personnel of any airport in the world.

House fire in Mt Prospect, 6-18-19

Jun 18

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire scene audio, Fire Scene photos | Comments off

Mount Prospect firefighters were called to 1418 E. Green Lane Tuesday afternoon (6/18/19) for fire in a single-family house. Fire appeared to burn in the attic and firefighters were evacuated from the house just before the second floor ceiling collapsed. Fire vented through the roof and companies took a defensive posture. The Code 3 was elevated to a Code 4 upon the arrival of the initial units and was later upgraded to a MABAS Box Alarm. Mount Prospect firefighters were initially assisted by Rolling Meadows, Prospect Heights, Des Plaines, and Arlington Heights. The box alarm brought companies from Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, North Maine, Schaumburg, Northbrook, and Hoffman Estates.
