This from Josh Boyajian:

I took a ride to the 2-11 this morning on the near west side. Fire was in a very nice building, about 50×100 Greystone. It looked to be most of the fire was on the second floor and in the attic. Companies were making an interior attack and Truck 36 was making numerous holes on the roof. It was a cold, windy morning, and it seemed like the fire really took off when the wind picked up.

This from Brad Steinweg:

On the way home from work, I stopped by Glenwood’s 2nd alarm fire. This was one of two for MABAS 24. East Hazel Crest had a 2-alarm a few hours later. Glenwood got their new engine officially broken in. Mutual-aid companies included Hazel Crest, Munster, Lansing, Lynwood, Tinley Park, Chicago Heights, CC Hills, Harvey, South Holland, & Thornton.
