This from Eric Haak:

I took in this restaurant fire in Gary, Indiana on Saturday afternoon (8/30). The fire was at 47th and Broadway and I was lucky enough to be at 35th and Broadway when the tones went out. The fire started in the kitchen and was quickly brought under control. Before anyone asks, the man in the civilian clothing was the owner and that image was taken within the first minute of companies arriving. He moved away seconds later. If you would have arrived five minutes later, there would have been nothing to see. The last image is of Engine 5, which is the newest engine in their fleet.

This from Drew Gresik:

Took in the Still and Box at 2324 S. California. Fire was in a vacant 2.5-story frame, ops went defensive around the time these photos were taken. Tower 5 was moved into Sector 1 and Squad 1’s Snorkel was working with a master stream in Sector 2. Fire appeared to be in the attic/second floor. I didn’t see any flames but there was a lot of smoke. Here’s a few shots.

This from Eric Haak:

At approximately 8:15 Sunday morning, a fire broke out in this 25×50 1.5 story brick on the 900 block of north Harding in Chicago’s 13th Battalion. Engine 95 was first due and reported the home to be fully involved on arrival. There was a enclosed wood frame porch at the rear of the structure where it appeared the fire originated. The home had been vacant for a while and had several break-ins. The fire eventually communicated to the home to the north and caused damage to the frame dormer of a 1.5 story ordinary. Companies working on the scene were Engines 95 and 76, Trucks 35 and 26, Truck 36 was RIT with the 12th Battalion.
