This from Larry Shapiro:
After being dispatched to a working fire at an unknown address because of the volume of 911 calls into RED Center, firefighters from the North Maine FPD followed a header and travelled less than 1/2 mile to 9320 Noel Street in unincorporated Maine Township. They pulled up to heavy fire blowing out what was left of one unit of a four-unit, two-story apartment building. The entire front of the second unit from the street had been blown out. The alarm was upgraded to a Working Fire and then a MABAS Box Alarm, followed within minutes by an upgrade to the 2nd Alarm bringing units from as far away as Glencoe and Lincolnshire.
Multiple hand lines and three elevated master streams were used to battle the fire, the majority of which had been knocked down prior to my arrival.

This from Dan McInerney – from 14 years ago yesterday:
This was a fire I took in after work in 08
Still and Box at 5922 W Erie, 2 1/2-story frame, 25×50, totally involved. Box on arrival by Truck 29
Got there 3-4 minutes after 96 and the group.
Tower Ladder 14 members were on the roof.
Right after the 4th image was taken, 2-2-4 ordered members off the roof since there were no lines on the second floor and conditions were deteriorating in the attic beneath them.
