I found a helmet that’s from engine 9 with the name of Brown 20792……I work for the city of blue island public works and the helmet will be here for a few days, it was in a junk pile… not sure if he wants it back or if it’s all used up and Indeed it was decommissioned
Excerpts from theabc7chicago.com:
Streamwood firefighters responded to a home on Shagbark Lane around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon where they found windows blown out and a fire in the basement.
A heating and air conditioning technician had been working on one unit of the three-unit townhouse, and sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Fire officials said their investigation found the HVAC contractor was outside the building, cutting a hole in the wall, when he hit a natural gas pipe causing a leak and then the explosion. The contractor was hit by flying glass and taken to St. Alexius Hospital where he was treated and released.
The explosion was ruled accidental.

Excerpts from the herald-news.com:
This from Eric Haak:
The Sycamore, Illinois Fire Department was toned out at 1740 hrs Saturday afternoon (7/27) for a balcony fire at the St. Albans Greens Apartment Complex. Early images taken by residents showed a very small fire in the corner of a second floor balcony in the “C” side of the u-shaped apartment complex. Upon the arrival of the incident commander, heavy smoke was reported from the rear and the fire was reported to already be in the attic. The incident was boxed on arrival. An aggressive interior attack was initiated but shortly after 1800 hrs, companies went defensive. The front section of this structure measured 250′ x 60′ with 150′ x 60′ wings on each end with the nearest hydrant being 400′ away. My arrival was over 1.5 hours after the initial dispatch. All of the above commentary is observations made by myself and should not be taken as an official account by any means.
