This from Eric Haak:

On Friday, November 25, Chicago had a working fire at 2528 N. Fairfield.  The fire was rather small in terms of the time it took for it to be considered out but I did arrive in time for some interesting overhaul shots.  There were no front stairs and ladders had to be placed at the doors in order to access the front hallways.  The fire appeared to be mostly in the front living room, right at the window but resulted in some hidden fire extending into the wall above the front doors.  Accessing this fire was a little difficult due to its location over the area where the stairs were missing.  I included a rear shot of Truck 28 for all of you blue light fans!
