This from Steve Redick:

This fire was about 0400 hours this am, near the intersection of Harrison & Clinton in Oak Park. The original fire building, apparantly a 2-1/2 story frame was nothing but sticks when I arrived … totally consumed. The fire had a good hold in exposure 4 and pretty much burned the roof off of that, and was well into exposure 2 as well. The Oak Park tower operated as well as a deck gun and several hand lines. Berwyn set up their aerial pipe at the far end of the block, but to my surprise was able to hit the fire pretty well from that vantage point. Shot a lot of rigs, the newest being Broadview Engine 7. An interesting job to see in an area I don’t get to much.
