This from Eric Haak:

I took in three fires on Wednesday and got to all three of them late. I decided to send in a few images from each in honor of everyone who has to work outside in these conditions. The first image is from the still & box on the 1500 block of Kostner. It must have really been going as the entire face of the building was covered with soot. A dog was rescued from this fire as seen in the third image.

The third and fourth images were taken on the 9100 block of South Crandon which was another still & box.

The last image is of Engine 38 with their second fire of the day on the 1400 block of South Ridgeway.

Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire, 6-29-14

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some images from a 2-11 alarm fire early Sunday morning. This fire was literally a half block south of Engine 109’s house on Kedzie. A few months back, Engine 109 had an extra-alarm fire directly across from their quarters. This morning’s fire was in an auto repair shop which was a newly constructed two-story in the front connected to an old truss roof one-story in the rear. The total building size was about 40×100 but the fire was contained primarily to the rear section which was 40×25. Five handlines were used in the alley along with one that was brought up Truck 32 to the roof of a neighboring building to the north. One multi-versal was used through the front overhead door and Tower Ladder 5 was put to work on Kedzie. Images seen here were taken approximately 35 minutes in. All four box engines were pumping with 99 in the alley, 109 in sector A, 107 to the south on Kedzie, and 38 in front of 109’s quarters which was kind of odd to see.
