Lake County Indiana MABAS update (more)

This from Brad Steinweg:

I have come across a few articles on the page regarding Lake County (IN) switching to a consolidated channel. I have gotten the frequencies for these channels. There are 2 channels that do the dispatching; 154.815 and 154.445, however I have received more traffic over 154.815 so I’m unsure if the second frequency is a backup. For MABAS incidents they use the IFERN frequency 154.265. I believe Hammond and Gary may have private channels, as I have not picked up any traffic from them.

Pictures & video from Cedar Lake’s 2-11 on U.S.41 last Thursday night (10/22/15). The fire was in a commercial building, which was a total loss. Public works was sent over with a tractor to demolish the walls as a truck company worked on cooling down the hotspots. The cause of the fire was unknown at the time. Mutual aid included Lake Hills, Lake Dalecarlia, Lowell, Highland, Dyer, St. John, Schererville, Center Township & Tri-Creek EMS. Along with a tender, Lake Hills also brought their squad with a cascade trailer for refilling air bottles on site.

House fire in Munster, IN – 3/29/15

This from Brad Steinweg:

I was at home when a call came out for a house fire at 7946 Madison Avenue, in Munster (3/29/15). I stopped by and they had it knocked, but I got some photos. While operating at this scene they also received a call for smoke inside an apartment a couple blocks away from Station 2, which turned out to be burned food. Since most of the rigs were tied up at the other fire, they called Schererville and Lynwood for assistance on the 2nd call. At the 2nd call, I got a good shot of Lynwood’s Mack CF, one of the few Macks left in Cook County.
