From Josh Boyajian:

Berwyn has sold Quint 9Q1 to Brindle Mountain Fire Apparatus. In lieu of running the quint, Berwyn is going to run an engine frontline out of the South House. They have renumbered the 2009 Spartan Crimson engine (x-903) to Engine 901. They have another Pierce Enforcer pumper on order that should be delivered by the end of the year. It should be identical to their latest engine from Pierce.

Still and Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 12-22-24

Dec 24

From Chi-Town Fire Photos:

This is from a Still & Box Alarm @ 5213 S Bishop on 12/22/24. Fire was in a vacant, boarded up 2.5-sty wood-frame. Engine 116 had heavy fire from the basement on arrival. A couple minutes in, Battalion 6 stated they were hitting it from the exterior of the building and they were having access problems. Shortly thereafter, Batt 6 pulled the box. They set up Tower 39 in the front of the building, and then set up Squad 5 Snorkel on the D side of the fire building in a vacant lot. Engine 116 had a bad hydrant, making Engine 123 go in-line with Engine 49 to feed them. Engine 50 also was led out with a 2.5” line in the rear, and was also feeding the snorkel.

From Chi-Town Fire Photos:

This is from a fire on 12/21/24. The MFAO gave a working fire response to the corner of Homan and Congress, right at sunrise. Engine Co. 44 arrived to find heavy fire showing from a vacant grey stone at 3336 W Congress Parkway. Companies initially made an aggressive interior attack, but could not make it much past the stairs. Battalion 18 arrived on scene, pulled everyone out, went defensive, and pulled a Box. Engine 107 was the second engine and led out down a gangway to the rear and had an exposure line flowing on the D side. Engine 95 was the third engine, and they led out down the alley to the rear, and had a 2.5″ flowing on the B side exposure. Tower 5 was the Box truck, and was put to work on arrival.

Working Fire in Cicero on 11/25/24 @ 1620 s 58th Ct. Sounds like they chased fire in the walls of this 1.5-story brick bungalow. Engine 1 had a skid load lead out and Truck 2 had numerous holes in the roof.
