More about the Still and Box Alarm fire 12-22-24 from Eric Haak:

Here are a few images from a Still & Box alarm in Chicago on the evening of 12/22/24. The building was vacant and boarded up and had a fire in the basement. The interior was piled high with garbage which prompted a strictly defensive attack. The fire was brought under control with the use of four handlines, Tower Ladder 39, and Squad 5’s Snorkel.

From Chi-Town Fire Photos:

This is from a Still & Box Alarm @ 5213 S Bishop on 12/22/24. Fire was in a vacant, boarded up 2.5-sty wood-frame. Engine 116 had heavy fire from the basement on arrival. A couple minutes in, Battalion 6 stated they were hitting it from the exterior of the building and they were having access problems. Shortly thereafter, Batt 6 pulled the box. They set up Tower 39 in the front of the building, and then set up Squad 5 Snorkel on the D side of the fire building in a vacant lot. Engine 116 had a bad hydrant, making Engine 123 go in-line with Engine 49 to feed them. Engine 50 also was led out with a 2.5” line in the rear, and was also feeding the snorkel.
