This from Josh Boyajian:

Yesterday afternoon Brookfield had a Box Alarm @ 3308 s Sunnyside. First-in companies reported heavy smoke showing from the attic. Companies made a good push but couldn’t get it, and command backed everyone out due to the conditions present and went defensive. There were four hand lines working and Riverside’s truck was ready to go. Here are some shots.

Box Alarm in Skokie, 4-1-15 (more)

This from Steve Redick:

Wednesday, 8163 Lincoln Ave. A couple of interesting things here: response was compromised due to several ems calls occurring at the time of the alarm. The normal first-due units were delayed and the eastside company … furthest away was first to arrive. The IC realizing the delayed response ordered a box alarm before any units had arrived on the scene. Also noted was a wheelchair lift built on the front of the home which caused a rapid search. All residents, some disabled, were safely outside when I arrived. The fire seemed like it was going to heavily involve the attic and units were withdrawn for a time, but the incident was well in hand in pretty short order. Lighting was tough here as most good shots were badly back or sidelit.

Skokie firefighters responded to a house fire at 9163 Lincoln Avenue Wednesday morning at 11AM (4/1/15). Multiple Skokie companies were committed to EMS runs at the time. A header was visible to units responding, and a Box Alarm was requested prior to arrival, which brought assistance from Evanston, Wilmette, and Morton Grove in addition to companies for change of quarters.
