More about the Still and Box Alarm fire 12-22-24 from Eric Haak:

Here are a few images from a Still & Box alarm in Chicago on the evening of 12/22/24. The building was vacant and boarded up and had a fire in the basement. The interior was piled high with garbage which prompted a strictly defensive attack. The fire was brought under control with the use of four handlines, Tower Ladder 39, and Squad 5’s Snorkel.

From Chi-Town Fire Photos:

This is from a Still & Box Alarm @ 5213 S Bishop on 12/22/24. Fire was in a vacant, boarded up 2.5-sty wood-frame. Engine 116 had heavy fire from the basement on arrival. A couple minutes in, Battalion 6 stated they were hitting it from the exterior of the building and they were having access problems. Shortly thereafter, Batt 6 pulled the box. They set up Tower 39 in the front of the building, and then set up Squad 5 Snorkel on the D side of the fire building in a vacant lot. Engine 116 had a bad hydrant, making Engine 123 go in-line with Engine 49 to feed them. Engine 50 also was led out with a 2.5” line in the rear, and was also feeding the snorkel.

From Chi-Town Fire Photos:

This is from a fire on 12/21/24. The MFAO gave a working fire response to the corner of Homan and Congress, right at sunrise. Engine Co. 44 arrived to find heavy fire showing from a vacant grey stone at 3336 W Congress Parkway. Companies initially made an aggressive interior attack, but could not make it much past the stairs. Battalion 18 arrived on scene, pulled everyone out, went defensive, and pulled a Box. Engine 107 was the second engine and led out down a gangway to the rear and had an exposure line flowing on the D side. Engine 95 was the third engine, and they led out down the alley to the rear, and had a 2.5″ flowing on the B side exposure. Tower 5 was the Box truck, and was put to work on arrival.

Working Fire in Cicero on 11/25/24 @ 1620 s 58th Ct. Sounds like they chased fire in the walls of this 1.5-story brick bungalow. Engine 1 had a skid load lead out and Truck 2 had numerous holes in the roof.

Crews arrived on scene with heavy fire through the roof of a 1-story, single family ranch reported to be under construction.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are a few images taken in Chicago last weekend. This was a vacant home in the 19th Battalion. There was fire in the basement, first floor, and attic and most of the initial attack was done defensively. Eventually companies went interior and mopped up.

Excerpts from fox32chicago.com:

A fire started just before 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Tri-Star Cabinet & Top Co., Inc., which is located at 1000 South Cedar Road in New Lenox.

New Lenox Fire Protection District (NLFPD) firefighters arrived on the scene and found heavy smoke and flames coming from the building. There were about 60–70 employees inside at the time it began. All of them were evacuated safely, and no injuries were reported.

It took firefighters four hours to get the alarm fire under control.
