This from Brad Steinweg:
Here are the photos I got from Riverdale’s 2 alarm on 12/16/14. Traffic was terrible so I didn’t get there until after the 2nd alarm was called. I arrived shortly after a mayday was called, all firefighters were accounted for. I didn’t have my camera on me and had to use my phone, so I apologize for the quality.

Four firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries while battling an extra-alarm blaze at a condominium building Tuesday in Riverdale, officials said.
About 100 firefighters from departments [throughout] the south suburbs responded to the fire in a three-story building within the Riverwood Condominiums at 137th Street and Stewart Avenue.
The injured firefighters; two are with Riverdale, one is a Calumet Park firefighter and the fourth is with Markham.
… there was a “mayday” call … by a firefighter who ran out of air on the third floor.
thanks Dan
