Here are some images from a working fire at 54th and Ashland on Sunday morning (11/11) just before dawn. It appeared that someone had set the window of a business on fire as well as an auto in the alley. The fire did appear to get inside a litttle but was quickly extinguished. Companies were Battalion 6, Engine 116, Tower Ladder 39, Engine 123, Truck 33, Battalion 15 RIT with Truck 18.

This from Eric Haak:

A very short Still & Box Alarm on Sunday afternoon (10/28). The fire was in a 1-story grocery store that was closed for the day. E127 landed first. The first picture was taken about 2 minutes before the box was requested. B16 reported that he had some fire in the basement with access issues. Needless to say, the Still and Box was not in very long.

Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 9-9-18

This from Eric Haak:

The following images were taken this 9/9 at a still and box alarm fire at 10026 South Avenue L on Chicago’s Southeast side. The first image shown was taken 2 minutes before the box was requested and gives you an idea of conditions at that time. The building was balloon frame construction and the fire had made it into the attic. A man who witnessed the fire told me a grandfather pushed a 7-year old out the second floor window but then couldn’t escape himself. Companies went defensive for a brief time.

This from Eric Haak:

Park Forest had a Box Alarm at 42 Woodland Glen Sunday (8/26) afternoon. The fire was out before I could arrive. Many of these rigs are not on the site so even though several were parked in the shade, I thought I would submit this post.

This from Eric Haak:

Naperville had a Box Alarm with an EMS Box Sunday morning (8/26). The fire was out long before I could arrive. I’ve provided two images of what they had that were taken from a distance as I could not get any closer. Also pictured are 3 Naperville engines, Naperville Truck 1, an Oswego engine, a Lisle Woodridge engine and the Plainfield tower ladder.

Here are a few images from a Still & Box alarm fire in Chicago Sunday evening (08/12). The fire at 117th and Michigan came in shortly after 7:00 and was in the basement of a vacant apartments over commercial structure. Companies eventually went defensive and I arrived way after most of the fire was out.
