The Berwyn Fire Department was called out for a gas leak inside of a BP gas station store. After the arriving companies evacuated occupants of the building, it exploded, shattering the glass of nearby homes and businesses. The Ogden IC then upgraded the incident; eventually to the Box level. The two fires were in the leveled gas station, and to the east in the alleyway.

From Josh Boyajian:
Berwyn has sold Quint 9Q1 to Brindle Mountain Fire Apparatus. In lieu of running the quint, Berwyn is going to run an engine frontline out of the South House. They have renumbered the 2009 Spartan Crimson engine (x-903) to Engine 901. They have another Pierce Enforcer pumper on order that should be delivered by the end of the year. It should be identical to their latest engine from Pierce.

Saturday afternoon, Berwyn & Cicero Fire Departments were receiving calls for a house fire around Cermak Rd & Harvey Ave, right on the border of the two towns. Berwyn Engine 903 arrived to find a well-advanced, fully-involved house extending to both exposures. Crews led out numerous lines to the front and back. Engine 902 was feeding the aerial pipe of the truck, and Engine 901 lead out through the gangways from the block over to the rear. All in all, the fire was at a Box Alarm level, and seven hand lines were in operation. Cicero Engine 2, Forest Park Engine 401, and North Riverside E807 were hard at work as well.The full gallery is on our website.
