This from Larry Shapiro:

A few shots from a working fire Saturday morning (11/19/16) at 2310 W. Jackson Boulevard. The fire was out when I arrived. It appears that they had a small fire on the roof, I heard mention of roofers reportedly working there earlier. Ambulance 44 transported one firefighter that sustained some type of injury.

This from Steve Redick:

Tuesday (10/25/16), 2047 Cermak Rd. One-story restaurant with exposures to two similar. There was heavy fire in the rear of the building when companies arrived and the fire eventually consumed the entire building of origin, but due to solid brick walls between sides A and D the fire seemed confined to only one structure. This is normally a congested, densely populated neighborhood and the sidewalks are elevated, making the gangways 1/2-story below ground as well as allowing for some unusual basement access.TL 5, Squad 1, a multi-versal and a point of vantage line were used and heavy smoke conditions were present for well over an hour. This was an interesting job that yielded some nice images. The video as well as all the images can be seen here:

This from Josh Boyajian:

Engine 109 went to an automatic alarm last night (5/24/15) at 2444 S. Western. Upon arrival, they advised the MFAO they had fire in a storage unit and asked for a full still. Engine 109 had 1 line lead out and Engine 23 had lines into the sprinkler system. Both Tower 5 and Truck 32 had their mains to the roof. Here are some shots.
