This from Drew Gresik:

Lyons companies had a working fire in a bungalow 5/27/16 at 4236 Leland Avenue. First engine had heavy smoke showing from the attic on arrival. Two lines were dropped, and the roof was opened by Riverside Truck 1629. Some birds were rescued during searches, and the fire appeared to be mostly in the attic. Great job by companies on scene.

This from Drew Gresik:

The Chicago Fire Department Englewood Fire Alarm Office received multiple calls for a fire at 57th and Peoria around 11:30 PM (5/15/16). Englewood FAO started in a working fire response. Engine 50 arrived first in and reported they had a 2-story, ordinary, vacant 25×50 with heavy fire on two and in the rear. Squad 5 then called Battalion 6 who was still en route to the scene, and advised that the heavy fire was now getting into the Side D exposure, which was a similarly-constructed building. Battalion 6 requested a Still & Box as companies pulled out to go defensive. Four lines were led out on an exterior attack. Truck 51 was moved from Side A for Tower 39 to take the front and utilize their aerial master stream. Companies on scene: E50 E84 E116 E54 T51 T18 TL39 BN6 Sq5 2-7-4 RIT BN19 T20 BN5 BN15 2-2-1 A1 A49 4-5-5 4-5-8.

Companies arrived on scene with smoke showing from the eves and fire on the second floor. They initially went for an interior attack, vented the roof letting fire through the roof. At that point they had fire on the third floor, companies pulled out and went defensive requesting a box alarm with a special request for Forest Park’s tower.

Last night, around 9:30pm, the MFAO gave the 18th Battalion a working fire response to 1038 N Lawndale, which the MFAO Boxed prior to anyone’s arrival. Engine 76 arrived with a fire on the 2nd floor of a 2-story brick. Companies had some access problems with the house being boarded up. Engine 76 had two lines lead out and they made a quick knock on the fire.
