House fire in Chicago 8-17-13

This from Eric Haak:

The still time for this fire was 1702 hrs.  Although the fire was out before I arrived, I wanted submit these because it was kind of an interesting job.  This vacant 2.5 story frame was located in the middle of the 6900 block of south Winchester.  The block has a cul-de-sac at the south end of the block.  What was really odd was that there was a block party going on when this happened!  A couple of hundred people barbecuing and dancing with kids playing up and down the street and then this house just “randomly” catches fire and gets this advanced before any companies could arrive.  No one on the scene reported seeing anything unusual happening.  One witness just stated that one minute the home was fine and the next there was fire everywhere.  Engine 101 used their deck gun to knock it down and kept it from communicating.  I was only about 2 miles out when Engine 101 reported on scene and there wasn’t much to see once I got there.  Engine 129 and Truck 50 were the other still companies along with Truck 41.
