This fro Eric Haak:

Here are some still images from the Harvey fire on Saturday (10/24).  I arrived very late and they still had heavy fire in the second building.  The original fire building was completely down by my arrival.

Roof fire in Wheeling, 5/10/15

This from Larry Shapiro:

The WheelingFire Department received calls for fire on the roof of a mostly vacant, one-story, strip mall at 1786 W. Hintz Road Sunday morning (5/10/15) just after 9AM. Responding units were able to see a black header while en route. The fire was on the roof at the rear of the building. Buffalo Grove Tower 25 setup in the alley and hit the fire with their master stream and Wheeling firefighters used a 2 1/2-inch line from the roof. The affected area was roughly 20 square feet.

Here are a few images and a brief video. More images are at shapirophotography.net

Structure fire in Harvey, 3/12/15

The Harvey Fire Department had a Full-Still Alarm this morning at 10 W. 147th Street for a fire at a tire storage facility.

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

Firefighters responded to a fire early Thursday in suburban Harvey … at a tire shop near 147th Street and Ashland Avenue.

When firefighters arrived, a building on the property was fully engulfed and crews took a defensive position outside the structure … the site formerly housed a lumber yard.

Box Alarm in Wilmette, 2-17-15

This is the first of what will be several posts on this fire:

Wilmette companies responded to an automatic fire alarm at the Woman’s Club of Wilmette, 930 Greenleaf Avenue around 10AM this morning (2/17/15). Upon rounding the corner, smoke was visible through the roof and the alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 (working fire).

The occupants were out of the building when the fire department arrived and made an initial interior attack before being forced to withdraw. The alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm for additional companies.

Four aerial master streams were operating; Wilmette Tower 26, Northbrook Tower 12, Evanston Truck 23, and Morton Grove Quint 4. Engines pumping included Wilmette Engine 27 and Winnetka Engine 28. Other units at the scene were engines from Lincolnwood, and Glenview, trucks from Northfield and Des Plaines, a Skokie squad, both Wilmette ambulances, the Mess Canteen, MABAS Division 3 Comm 3, and several chief officers.

Here are a few images from Larry Shapiro. Also at the scene were Tim Olk and Jeff Rudolph.
