This from Eric Haak:

This fire came in about 1:30 Saturday afternoon (1/28/17). It was in a great old home from the 1800’s at 45th and Ellis. I arrived just after it was boxed by the 5th Battalion. It looked like the fire was mostly in the attic area. The exposure was reported as vacant and in poor condition but the fire was held to the original occupied section.

Chicago working fire, 7-5-14

This from Eric Haak:

Took in this working fire on the 6100 block of South Washtenaw on Saturday. I arrived less than 10 minutes in and the fire was already well under control. I included a close up of the spare tower ladder that TL39 was running with. Over the weekend, they were running out of spare tower ladders and both TL34 and TL54 were running as trucks at one point or another. As you can see, the body wear on these old E-One’s is very evident but it seems like they are in service more than the front line rigs. It should also be noted that Squad 5 was running with the old air mask rig as their box. Shop # G-487. Engines on this were 88 and 101 with Truck 41 and Tower Ladder 39.

Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire 9-25-13

Chicago had a 2-11 Alarm fire today at 1034 S. Kostner. The building consisted of a five-story section with a one-story area in the rear. Workers were disconnecting a storage tank in the basement which contained some sort of glue which ignited. The building began filling with smoke, and when companies determined what it was and that it was in the basement, everyone was ordered out and a PAR was conducted.

A Haz Mat Level I was requested along with the 2-11. 9-2-3, the MVU housed with Engine 106 was special called as was 8-8-11, the Mobile Oxygen Bus. There wasn’t any fire to see but lots of black smoke being pushed out of the building by the large fan.

Larry Shapiro and TIm Olk were at the scene. Some images are below.

Chicago Still Alarm fire 9-14-13

This from Eric Haak:

This fire on the 5300 block of South Justine occurred Saturday afternoon at 1245 hrs. Companies responding were Engines 116 and 123, Truck 33 and Tower Ladder 39, Battalion 19 along with Battalion 15 and Truck 18 with the RIT assignment. No rig shots with this one as both engine companies were running spares. There was some concern about communication to the rear porches of the exposure to the north, but everything was quickly contained. A resident of the address told me that the mother allegedly stepped out to go to the corner store when the fire was started by kids in the rear bedroom. During overhaul, the remnants of several mattresses were tossed out the rear window by members of Squad 5.

This from Josh Boyajian:

CFD – A still and box alarm @ Kostner and Wilcox. It was a 2 story multi-family two flat with most of the fire in the rear of the building and in the basement. E95 had two lines lead out while T26 made the roof. Here are my pictures.
