Feb 8

This from Eric Haak:

I took in this still at 3259 S. Halsted at about 9:15 on Saturday morning (2/7/15).  I arrived about 5 minutes too late and the fire was knocked pretty good by the time I walked down.  The fire appeared to be mostly contained to the rear porches of a fairly large 3-story mixed occupancy.  Engines 29 and 28 with Trucks 8 and 11.  It was hard to get a good shot of 29 shooting into the sun.

This from Code Photography:

Here are some photos and a video of the 2-alarm fire in Elmwood Park. Elmwood Park companies had a report of a machine on fire at 35 Conti Parkway (the circle). Once the machine was knocked, interior reported they had fire in the rear that they could not reach with their line and asked for a second line. At the same time smoke conditions worsened and command was notified they had an alarm at 36 Conti Parkway. Command requested the first box alarm. Companies eventually went defensive and a second alarm was requested.
