This from Drew Gresik:

Hello,

I took in the Box Alarm in Brookfield last night on Woodside Road. By the time I arrived the fire was pretty much knocked and the crews were beginning to overhaul. I did see one female patient being taken on a stretcher to the Oak Brook ambulance, but I do not know if she was transported. There were two lines stretched by Brookfield Engine 421. Here are some images of Pleasantview 1539, an E-One 75′ RM Quint, McCook 1411 Spartan Gladiator Luverne Engine, 956 Summit’s 2011 Ford F-450/Wheeled Coach Ambulance and 2 photos of the scene and fire building.

My photos are posted HERE

Thanks. Keep up the great work with the site!

Industrial fire in McCook 1-30-12

Jan 30

Posted by bgshap in Apparatus on-scene, Fire, Fire Service News, Reader submission | 12 Comments

The McCook Fire Department responded to an industrial fire this afternoon (Monday) at 9550 Joliet Road. They encountered fire inside a tool manufacturing facility and upgraded the alarm to a Full Still bringing aid from the Pleasantview and Tristate Fire Protection District, Brookfield and Lyons Fire Departments. Evidently while an employee was welding, sparks or embers traveling into a vent ignited the filter. Flames then spread to nearby pallets.

The fire was contained to a relatively small area and produced a significant amount of smoke throughout the plant. McCook called for the new MABAS Division 10 Mobile Ventilation Unit housed in Lyons to help clear the facility.

Tim Olk was … on the scene shortly after the fire came out and submitted several images.
