This from Brad Steinweg:
I was at home when a call came out for a house fire at 7946 Madison Avenue, in Munster (3/29/15). I stopped by and they had it knocked, but I got some photos. While operating at this scene they also received a call for smoke inside an apartment a couple blocks away from Station 2, which turned out to be burned food. Since most of the rigs were tied up at the other fire, they called Schererville and Lynwood for assistance on the 2nd call. At the 2nd call, I got a good shot of Lynwood’s Mack CF, one of the few Macks left in Cook County.
