Still Alarm 236 S. Cicero, 9-7-14

This from Steve Redick

Took in this job a few days ago. Not much to see firewise but a couple of interesting things. The building was in horrendous shape..several parts of the roof were collapsed (prior to fire) and access was very limited at best. Ironically this was not classed as a red x building. I was able to get some video and photos of a Chicago stripping ladder in use as a battering ram to knock out the plywood window coverings. This is a great tool and pretty unique to Chicago…seldom used for climbing but primarily used to pull up roofing materials during ventilation.. Class A foam was also used at this alarm as well. The squad had a spare snorkel but some decent rig shots were available.

Chicago 2-11 Fire with mayday response 8-23-13

This from Eric Haak:

At 1830 hrs Friday evening, companies in the Chicago Fire Department’s 23rd Battalion responded to the 8000 block of South Marquette on a still alarm.  Arriving companies reported they had a fire in the rear of a 24×50, 2-story ordinary.  Still engines were 72, 46, and 126.  Still trucks were Truck 49 and Tower Ladder 34.  Engine 126 was on a rubbish nearby and that was the reason for the 3-engine response.  Engine’s 126 and 72 (in a spare rig) both worked in sector 1 on Marquette as well as the tower ladder.  Box time was 1837 hrs as the 23rd reported heavy fire in the rear porches and through the attic.  I could see a header from 95th and Halsted at that time.  At 1841 hrs the roof collapsed bringing a Mayday response along with a 2-11 and an EMS Plan I.  Within 2 minutes, 72, 126, Truck 49 and Tower 34 had all taken a PAR and all members were accounted for.  The Mayday was secured shortly after.  As you view the pictures, keep in mind that this building had a pitch roof with attic dormers which were no longer visible once I arrived.  I was at 95th and Ashland when the still was given and it took me a half hour to get to the incident.
