Excerpts from the Chicago.cbslocal.com:
Chicago firefighters responded to a fire in a two-story apartment building near 68th and Aberdeen in the Englewood neighborhood around 11:20 p.m. Thursday. Five people who live in the building got out unharmed before firefighters arrived.
About 20 minutes later, a mayday call went out when a firefighter fell through the floor. A short time later, he walked out of the building on his own. He not suffer any serious injuries.
“He was not transported. He was not injured. He was removed quickly by his company, and he continued to work, and he’s doing well,” Chicago Fire Deputy District Chief Rosalind Jones said.
Crews attacked the flames from the roof and the ground and the fire communicated to the building directly to the south.
Firefighters had the fire contained by about 1:45 a.m., but it rekindled around 6:15 a.m. while they were still on the scene to monitor hot spots.

It is my understanding that they must go in for warranty maintenance however, 5A was stuck in the ice December 28th and had to be pulled out by a heavy wrecker and hasn’t been in service since. I’m sure it is just fine.

Is this the first time one of the squads have had to go into a spare since the Rosenbauers went into service last year?

Yeah it worked earlier at 86th & Vincennes too. Looks like the former 2A rig.

Looks like Squad 5A was running in a spare.
