The East Hazel Crest is a 1984 and the Lynwood a 1978. I think Homewood Acres was mentioned in another post as not being on any cards. Would have made for quite the fire scene! Add in Country Club Hills engine 1140, Dolton 1449 and 1442, and Riverdale truck 841… you’d really question the decade you were in.
In all seriousness, while the property damage is catastrophic enough to the people involved, at least there were no injuries that I heard of (and if any, probably minor).
