Chicago companies responded to a Still Alarm at 1240 E 83rd Street. Theyreported smoke on arrival and the Englewood Fire Alarm Office filled out a Full Still for the working fire. Batt 23 arrived and gave asize up of a 2-story ordinary with fire on the second floor and 2 lines on the fire. One line was onthe first floor and the other was on the second with the truck opening the roof. Batt 23 came back and said all companies were defensive due to heavy fire throughthe roof and throughout the second floor. There were no injuries and the second floor was occupied.

Took in the Still and Box at 2324 S. California. Fire was in a vacant 2.5-story frame, ops went defensive around the time these photos were taken. Tower 5 was moved into Sector 1 and Squad 1’s Snorkel was working with a master stream in Sector 2. Fire appeared to be in the attic/second floor. I didn’t see any flames but there was a lot of smoke. Here’s a few shots.

Took in a working fire Friday afternoon at 5528 s Carpenter. E116 arrived and found a 2.5 sty brick with smoke showing in sector 2. Truck 18 made the roof and E50 had lines off in the alley. Here are my photos.

This from Drew Gresik:

Hey guys,

I took a quick ride to the West Side today for a Still and Box at 742 N Pine. Engine 96 reported to Main FAO “we got a worker, Office” as they pulled out of quarters. Engine 117 arrived first-in with the tower and reported a Red X 2.5-story going on the 2nd floor and attic in the rear. By the time I arrived on scene, about 20 minutes later, heavy fire was showing from throughout the top floors. Engines 96, 117, and 113 were pumping while Tower 14 had a master stream. Trucks 26 and 29 were on scene as well. Engine 23 and Trucks 35 and 53 were in staging, but I don’t think they were used. Interesting note, Engine 95, Truck 7 and Battalion 4 had a small fire on Kostner just south of Madison right as companies were stretching at this job. Here’s some of my shots.

Thanks,

Drew Gresik
