Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 3-26-17

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

About 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening (3/26/17), Chicago firefighters responded for fire in a vacant structure at 6159 West Dickens Avenue  on the city’s Northwest Side. The response was soon raised to a box alarm.

By 10 p.m., the fire was struck out. One firefighter was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

This from José Guillén:

Here are a few cell phone camera shots of the Still & Box at the old Zenith TV and radio factory.  I grew up in the neighborhood and was visiting my parents when I caught wind of this going on. Thanks.

  I noticed the MVU showed up near the end of the video, how big is the fan on the MVU and what types of incidents is it used for?

  Yes they have. And I notice that they are always in the same position, much like in this pic, while the TOWER LADDER is doing all the work. But hey, it’s just another day….

  Looks like Squad 2 has been getting it’s fair share of fires over the last week
