 Shortly after noon today, the Bridgeview Fire Department was dispatched to 7340 W. 86th St for the apartment fire. Upon arrival, Battalion 40 was greeted with heavy fire on all three floors of the Division A side and requested a Full Still on Box #42.

Bridgeview Engine 416 made a quick hit with their deck gun which knocked down the majority of the fire. Crews advanced a skid line to the 3rd floor to attack fire that communicated into the east unit via the eaves. Companies had extensive overhaul to perform due to the fire travel in the mansard and roof.

Companies assisting Bridgeview were Bedford Park, Evergreen Park, North Palos and Roberts Park all with trucks and Oak Lawn with an ambulance.
