Box Alarm fire in Hainesville, 5-30-21

This from Jeff Rudolph:

05/30/21
Round Lake pulled MABAS Box 26-1 to the box level on arrival at 37nW. Big Horn dr. in Hainesville. Crews found heavy fire in 1 unit of a 6 unit townhouse complex spreading to another unit. Master streams knocked down the bulk of the fire, and crews were able to make a stop on any further spread. Jeff Rudolph

Crown Point burndown

This from Larry Shapiro:

While driving on I65 last night through Crown Point, I spotted a fully-engulfed house off the road … appeared to be a turndown. I followed the smoke and found Crown Point (IN) firefighters at the tail end of burning down the house that they’d been training in for the past three days.

I grabbed a few shots and some video.

This from Josh Boyajian:

Forest View had a couple semi trucks on fire Monday at 5200 w 47th st. As I made my way from my house, I saw the header from 39th and Lombard. The first shot is from my phone on the way there from the Central Bridge. Here are a few of my shots from the scene.
