This from Josh Boyajian:

Companies were dispatched to a still alarm Friday at 7115 s Sangamon. While enroute, Engine 54 advised the EFAO that they could see the header and they indeed had a fire. E-54 arrived and boxed it. They had heavy fire showing and had the sector 4 exposure going also. Here are some of my shots. The whole gallery is on my site.

And from Dennis McGuire, Jr,

Engine Co. 54 was first in to 7115 S. Sangamon and found fire in a 2 1/2 story frame. They made entry into to the building while Truck Co. 20 did the ventilation and searches. No victims were found but the fire did spread a bit to 7117 S. Sangamon, also a 2 1/2 story frame. Engine Co. 54’s hydrant man did find a frozen hydrant which caused the chief to ask for the Still & Box alarm. Companies made a quick knock of the fire once a positive source of water was established.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some photographs of a Still & Box Alarm fire on the 6600 Block of South Oakley in Chicago. This still went out at 0936 hrs and was boxed for the report of people trapped inside. Engine 101 confirmed a fire in the basement of a one-story single-family residence. An elderly woman was removed from the home but I do not know if it was fire department personnel or civilians who carried her out. She was transported to the hospital and was alert on the scene. It took me ten minutes to get on-scene from the time the fire was dispatched, to give you a time frame. I included an image of Engine 123 with the memorial decal to Captain Johnson affixed below the driver’s side windshield.

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.
