This from Josh Boyajian:

McCook had a full still tonight at 9550 w Sergo. Companies were initially dispatched for an AFA and arrived to find a fire inside a 200×50 non-combustable building. McCook upgraded to a Full Still Alarm which brought in more surrounding auto aid. Later in the incident, command requested a Mabas 10 investigators box along with their MVU stationed in Lyons. Here are some pictures.

This from Drew Gresik:

Hello,

I took in the Box Alarm in Brookfield last night on Woodside Road. By the time I arrived the fire was pretty much knocked and the crews were beginning to overhaul. I did see one female patient being taken on a stretcher to the Oak Brook ambulance, but I do not know if she was transported. There were two lines stretched by Brookfield Engine 421. Here are some images of Pleasantview 1539, an E-One 75′ RM Quint, McCook 1411 Spartan Gladiator Luverne Engine, 956 Summit’s 2011 Ford F-450/Wheeled Coach Ambulance and 2 photos of the scene and fire building.

My photos are posted HERE

Thanks. Keep up the great work with the site!

This from Drew Gresik:

Today I took in Riverside’s Full Still at 340 Selborne Road. The fire was knocked by the time I got to the scene, but there were some great photo opportunities for the apparatus that were on scene. I believe there were 2, possibly 3 lines stretched, and Riverside’s Truck 1629 went to the roof.

The ambulance was formerly 1614 but now is 1624, a 2003 Ford E-450/Medtec.

Industrial fire in McCook 1-30-12

The McCook Fire Department responded to an industrial fire this afternoon (Monday) at 9550 Joliet Road. They encountered fire inside a tool manufacturing facility and upgraded the alarm to a Full Still bringing aid from the Pleasantview and Tristate Fire Protection District, Brookfield and Lyons Fire Departments. Evidently while an employee was welding, sparks or embers traveling into a vent ignited the filter. Flames then spread to nearby pallets.

The fire was contained to a relatively small area and produced a significant amount of smoke throughout the plant. McCook called for the new MABAS Division 10 Mobile Ventilation Unit housed in Lyons to help clear the facility.

Tim Olk was … on the scene shortly after the fire came out and submitted several images.

Drew Gresik took in a MABAS 2nd Alarm this evening in Brookfield and submitted the following images and description.

Fire was reported showing from the garage of a 2-story ordinary home in the 3500 block of Rosemear. The fire soon demolished the garage and spread quickly to the home upgrading the fire to a 2-alarm fire. It was upgraded to a full MABAS Division 10 response, and even became inter-divisional with departments from MABAS Division 11, 20, and 21 responding. There were 4 lines stretched and almost all crews were working.
