Photos from Cedar Lake’s box alarm at 144th & Riskin. There were no hydrants anywhere in the area so multiple tankers were called. I was in Beecher and arrived about 30 minutes in.

East Hazel Crest MVA from Friday afternoon (1/16/15). Occurred at the I-80/I-294 split around 13:10. Two Semis & one car were involved. This is a good example of why you should not cut in front of a semi.

Four firefighters injured during 2nd alarm fire in Riverdale, 12-16-14

This from Brad Steinweg:

Here are the photos I got from Riverdale’s 2 alarm on 12/16/14. Traffic was terrible so I didn’t get there until after the 2nd alarm was called. I arrived shortly after a mayday was called, all firefighters were accounted for. I didn’t have my camera on me and had to use my phone, so I apologize for the quality.

From the Chicago Tribune:

Four firefighters suffered non-life-threatening injuries while battling an extra-alarm blaze at a condominium building Tuesday in Riverdale, officials said.

About 100 firefighters from departments [throughout] the south suburbs responded to the fire in a three-story building within the Riverwood Condominiums at 137th Street and Stewart Avenue.

The injured firefighters; two are with Riverdale, one is a Calumet Park firefighter and the fourth is with Markham.

… there was a “mayday” call … by a firefighter who ran out of air on the third floor.

thanks Dan

Lansing FD update

Jun 28

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News | Comments off

This from Brad Steinweg:

Just wanted to share an update regarding Lansing‘s stations. At one point Lansing had 4 stations, but now they are down to 3. Station 1 located at the intersection of Lake ST & Henry ST has been shut down for good. At one point it housed a Mack CF pumper and 1 ambulance, and was staffed full time, just like the other 3 stations. After being placed out of service, it housed unit 7777, the MABAS 24 fire investigations unit. It was moved out when the station completely shut down. Station 4 on 170th ST next to the police station is now known as Station 1. It houses a tower ladder, 1 ambulance and the MABAS 24 investigator unit.
