This came in at about 0945 this morning. I followed companies from quarters. A one-story wood-frame garage, 22×20, with a small fire in the ceiling area was knocked down with one 1.75” line, followed by some quick overhaul. Companies on-scene were RFOR E222, T221, ELPK E947, FOPK E402, OKPK T631 and C620, along with various chiefs from River Forest and Elmwood Park. River Forest T221 as you know is Oak Park’s old T631, and the 1981 Seagrave 100′ was modified by River Forest to hold a few hundred feet of 4-inch hose enabling them to forward lay a supply line to E222.This first set shows the garage before the line was charged and the garage opened
