This from Eric Haak:

At approximately 1450hrs on Saturday, the Dolton Fire Department responded to a fire in a large storage shed on a vacant industrial property at 142nd & Cottage Grove. The photos in this gallery were taken about 1-hour into the incident. Companies had long lead-outs as working hydrants were scarce on this stretch of road. Calumet City Tower 309 and Lansing Tower 107 were both in use at the scene. Riverdale Engine 836 had a hydrant at the corner of 142nd and Cottage Grove and fed Burnham Engine 2016. South Holland Engine 669 was on Cottage Grove at the entrance to the complex with a hydrant as well. Also pictured is Phoenix Engine 1708 in staging which is the old Engine 72 of Chicago. The “72” is still clearly visible on the door. There was also a request for HAZMAT advisers to the scene. The incident was eventually raised to a 3rd alarm which actually occurred after I left the scene.

The Burnham Fire Department received calls yesterday reporting a fire in a 3-story apartment building at 14000 S. Torrence Avenue. First arriving companies found heavy smoke on the first floor and upgraded the alarm to a MABAS Box Alarm. Mutual aid companies from several neighboring departments responded including Calumet City, Dolton, South Holland, and Munster Indiana. The fire was knocked down in fairly short order and no injuries were reported.

Tim Olk took in the fire, and though he arrived after the fire was put out, he submitted several images of the scene and the apparatus that responded.
