This from Tyler Tobolt:
Engine 1805 seems to be an old Darien-Woodridge Engine (if anyone could confirm).
Also it was very cool to see their Snorkel operating still to this day.

This from Eric Haak:
The Sycamore, Illinois Fire Department was toned out at 1740 hrs Saturday afternoon (7/27) for a balcony fire at the St. Albans Greens Apartment Complex. Early images taken by residents showed a very small fire in the corner of a second floor balcony in the “C” side of the u-shaped apartment complex. Upon the arrival of the incident commander, heavy smoke was reported from the rear and the fire was reported to already be in the attic. The incident was boxed on arrival. An aggressive interior attack was initiated but shortly after 1800 hrs, companies went defensive. The front section of this structure measured 250′ x 60′ with 150′ x 60′ wings on each end with the nearest hydrant being 400′ away. My arrival was over 1.5 hours after the initial dispatch. All of the above commentary is observations made by myself and should not be taken as an official account by any means.
