This from Eric Haak:

Just before 1630 hrs on Saturday (11/01) afternoon on the 1100 block of West 31st Street in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood. The 15th battalion reported he had smoke coming from the roof of a laundromat. Witnesses on-scene reported that roofers had been working on the building just prior to the fire. An aggressive interior attack was initially made but was terminated once the roof supports became compromised. I have included an image of each of the four engines that were pumping at the scene with Engines 28 and 39 being first-due and in front of the building. Engines 8 and 29 came in on the box. Trucks 8 and 4 were the still trucks and Tower Ladder 5 on the box. Truck 33 was RIT.

One more from Eric Haak before the New Year arrives:

Around 1130 hrs, a fire was reported in a large u-shaped courtyard apartment building on the 5600 block of South Kenwood near the University of Chicago campus. Engine 60 reported they had a fire on the second floor. Companies were working in a dead end cul-de-sac and the hydrant in front of the building was frozen. Engine 63 backed down on 60 and had to supply them with water from a hydrant all the way down on the corner of 56th Street. To give you an idea of how quickly these companies work, I arrived four minutes after 60 reported on-scene and this was knocked before I could make my way around to the front of the building (parking was at a premium). Since I don’t get over that far too often, I decided to get some shots of rigs I don’t get to very often.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some photographs of a Still & Box Alarm fire on the 6600 Block of South Oakley in Chicago. This still went out at 0936 hrs and was boxed for the report of people trapped inside. Engine 101 confirmed a fire in the basement of a one-story single-family residence. An elderly woman was removed from the home but I do not know if it was fire department personnel or civilians who carried her out. She was transported to the hospital and was alert on the scene. It took me ten minutes to get on-scene from the time the fire was dispatched, to give you a time frame. I included an image of Engine 123 with the memorial decal to Captain Johnson affixed below the driver’s side windshield.
