This from Daniel Hynd:
I took in the 2-11 in Blue Island at 13039 Western Ave on 9-7-23. I arrived well after the fire was knocked, but got some pretty good apparatus photos.

Excerpts from Fox32chicago.com:
Captain John Kucharski of the Midlothian Fire Department says firefighter-paramedics were in desperate need of N-95 masks to protect themselves when going into homes of potential COVID-19 patients
“We do have masks now,” he said. “What are we going to do if we run out?”
Then he saw a story about firefighters in Billings, Montana making their own surgical masks using a 3-D printer. They’re called Montana Masks. However, where do you get a 3-D printer as soon as possible?
Both Bremen High School and Oak Forest High School sent the 3-D printers used to teach engineering students to the Midlothian Fire Department, where they’ve been making a new mask every three hours.
While the masks are not FDA approved, tests show they’re remarkably effective and a whole lot better than a cheap paper mask or a bandanna.

if only we could get people to understand that video should never be shot in the vertical format.

Excerpts from ABC7chicago.com:
Investigators are working to figure out what sparked a fire that heavily damaged several family-owned businesses in south suburban Midlothian Saturday night.
Firefighters said they got the call around 11 p.m. When crews got to the scene, the building at 147th Street and Pulaski Avenue was engulfed in fire. The stubborn blaze took nearly four hours to completely put out. Fire departments from several surrounding communities assisted Midlothian firefighters. No one was injured.
Two businesses, Midwest Meat Market and Lisa’s Diner, suffered major damage.
“In the back of the building there are two apartments. Police kicked the door in. Removed them. Got them out safety,” said Midlothian Fire Chief Stephen Hotwagner.
The building is a complete loss. For the business owners, their livelihoods have been put in jeopardy, but that is not what any one of them were thinking of Saturday.
Friends have created a GoFundMe page for the Kenealy family.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
