This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.

Josh Boyajian and I happened to be in Kankakee County taking rig shots when the Pembroke FPD pulled a 3rd Alarm for a brush fire at 2600 South & 13000 East. They had approx. 50 acres going along with several abandoned vehicles, trailers, and mobile homes plus a large amount of tires. Command upgraded to the 4th Alarm then requested a Strike Team from MABAS 37. The area is mostly forest with lots of hills and homes scattered throughout.

Chicago Still & Box 8240 S. Justine Ave 2-3-2015

Around 1AM Engine 73 pulled up on a 2-sty, 50×75 Ord. with heavy fire in the rear enclosed porches. Due to the weather (19 inches of snow the day before and 8 degrees with a wind chill of zero) the officer asked for the Box. I arrived shortly after the fire was knocked and the companies were doing overhaul.

Here is an out of service picture of the X-Calumet Park, IL. Amb. 2262 which was replaced by a 2002 Ford/Marque that I believe was X-Crystal Lake but can not confirm that yet.

Another note on the history of this ambo is that it originally was owned by the Garden Homes Fire Protection District in nearby Alsip, IL

The picture of it in Garden Homes is by Bill Friedrich

This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:

Shortly after midnight (Monday morning), a CPD patrol car radioed in a fire at 5757 S. Hermitage stating that fire was blowing out of the front window. Only being 4 blocks from the address Josh & I took in the fire. We arrived just ahead of Engine 116 to find fire blowing out of the 1st floor front room and extending up the front of the 2-1/2, 25×50 frame. Engine 116 lead out a line to the front and hit the main body of fire from the outside while Tower 39 went to the roof for ventilation. Engine 123 backed down to Tower 39 and was setup to use their deck gun, but that order was canceled.

Great job by companies in knocking down this fire fast. This area of Hermitage has homes butted up to each other on the sides and this could have gotten out of control quickly.

Chicago 3-11 Alarm fire, 10/12/14

This from Eric Haak:

Still time was 1432 hrs followed by a still and box alarm at 1434 and a 2-11 at 1443. Companies had fully involved back porches of a 2.5 story frame that had communicated to exposures on both sides and the alley garage. Exposures were a 2.5 story ordinary on side D and a 1.5 story ordinary on side B. The side D exposure also had a frame back porch addition. A mayday was called when a company became trapped by rapidly advancing fire conditions which elevated the alarm to a 3-11. Eventually there would be a second mayday as well and two firefighters were transported from the scene in yellow condition. Engine 28 was pumping in sector A, Engine 39 at the entrance to the alley on Loomis Street, Engine 29 at the corner of Lyman and Ma Benton Lane and Engine 8 on Bonfield Street. Tower Ladder 5 was set up but I don’t believe it was ever used. Squad 1A was brought into sector A and did go to work on the attic.
