House fire in Evanston, 3-25-16

Radio traffic for the Box Alarm fire in Evanston 3/25/26 at 2306 Grant.

Excerpts from the ChicagoSun-Times.com:

Evanston firefighters responded to a fire in a one-and-a-half story, single-family home in the 2300 block of Grant Street about 2:20 p.m., last Friday according to a statement from the Evanston Fire Department.

Smoke was coming from the home’s eaves, and the alarm was upgraded, but the fire, which had started in the home’s attic, was extinguished about ten minutes later.

A contractor doing some electrical work suffered minor burns to a hand … he was evaluated at the scene, and no other injuries were reported.

Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire, 12-21-15 (more)

More from Steve Redick at the 2-11 Alarm Fire at 3057 N. Rockwell 12/21/15

This from Steve:

a video of the series of images I shot at the time of collapse

And the from Steve:

3057 N Rockwell Monday night. An occupied commercial building with an operable sprinkler system. I arrived just after the first 2-11 units and observed a moderate smoke condition. They did have the sprinkler system siamese supplied, and based on fireground traffic felt the sprinkler system was doing some good. Members put a lot of effort into removing the glass block windows in the front of the building. Conditions soon changed and the fire advanced throughout the building. There was a sudden collapse as the snorkel was being positioned. No damage to members or rigs.
A note with these images and video. I did not have my usual camera equipment with me so this was all shot on an Iphone and an old digital point and shoot. The quality is not up to my usual standards, but lousy photos are better than no photos right?

Chicago FD radio traffic – November 2015

This from Eric Haak:

I came up with this idea a few weeks ago and wanted to share it with the readers.  I thought it would be interesting to hear the highlights of radio traffic for CFD all in one spot so I put together this synopsis of events for the month of November (2015).  I also finished one for June and July which can be heard on my Youtube page.  I intend to finish the other months that are available on Broadcastify and if I get enough positive response, I hope to keep it up.  I figure once I get caught up it won’t be hard to just keep up by adding the events as they happen.  I will then hopefully be able to share a month’s highlights within the first couple of days of the new month.  I am still playing around with the format but I think I am going to stick with this for now.  It will be still & box alarms and higher but excluding the obvious.  No still and box alarms for people trapped unless bonafide.  No still & box alarms for high rise fires unless the incident warrants a clip or the traffic is interesting.  And obviously no stand-by alerts at the airports.  I hope you enjoy listening.

Radio traffic from overturned tanker near Rosemont, 5/31/15

This from Steve Redick:

This occurred after midnight on the morning of May 31, on EB 190 at the 294 interchange. A tanker truck overturned and was really rolling, sounds like due to construction.  No one could get near it. I think they tried to hit it from a school in the gated area of Rosemont at 6101 Ruby. I listened to this but did not really get the impression this was a big deal. Even if I went I don’t imagine I could have gotten anywhere near this. Anyway here is the radio traffic.

This from Drew Gresik:

Somewhat busy afternoon yesterday (5/12/15) in the City with a couple decent jobs at 2855 S Harding, 11830 S Normal, and 5942 S Peoria back-to-back-to-back. I threw together a quick mix of some of the audio into one file. Enjoy.
