This from Steve Redick:

It rained on us 90 percent of the show, but a good time was had by all. Nice to see a few new rigs and renew lots of friendships. Here is a selection of photos for your viewing … and a video … more coming

Oak Park house fire 2-5-12

Feb 5

Oak Park firefighters responded to a house fire this morning at 1110 Taylor. A neighbor had called reporting smoke from the roof. Companies found a story and a half brick bungalow with smoke from the second floor rear. Basically a one-room fire which involved the attic and eaves. One line was used and a backup was pulled but not charged.

Tim Olk arrived at the scene after the fire had been knocked down and submitted a few images.
