This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

At around 130am on December 11th, Cicero Fire companies were toned out for a structure fire @ 2704 S 60th Ct. Engine 2 arrived onscene with a fully involved, 2.5 sty wood frame, about 25×75′ and pulled a Box. Due to the amount of fire, exposure problems, and structural integrity, all companies went defensive. Truck Co. 2 put their aerial master stream to work on side A. Engine 1 & North Riverside Engine 807 lead out multiple big lines as well. I arrived about 10 minutes into the fire. The full gallery is HERE.

3-Alarm fire in Cicero, 12-1-23

Posted by Admin in Fire Department News | 3 Comments

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

Firefighters in Cicero battled an extra-alarm fire in an apartment building Friday morning, that broke out in the three-story apartment building in the 5900-block of West 16th Street.

Inside the basement of the three-story apartment building, an inferno was so bad, firefighters couldn’t see. It was obvious to them it had been burning for a while.

After a mayday call and all fire personnel were pulled from inside and everyone was accounted for they began to tackle it from the outside and that quickly became challenging.

Inside, initial reports say all 25 people living here are accounted for as well, but authorities are waiting for a final number.

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:

A fire broke out after midnight in the 3100-block of South 53rd Street in Cicero on Monday. An 82-year-old woman was rescued from the fire, but a 62-year-old man believed to be her son died in the fire.

The victim was watching TV in the front room and officials said it appears the fire started in the basement right under that room. The man has been identified to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office as Dale Forst.

The family has five cats, with three of them accounted for and two still missing. The cause of the fire is under investigation but is believed to be accidental, possibly involving a candle.

Box Alarm fire in Cicero, 10-1-22

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

Last night, Cicero received numerous calls for a structure fire @ 35th Street & 55th Ct. Cicero Engine 3, which is stationed two blocks from this, arrived to find heavy fire showing from the rear of a 2.5-sty, wood frame, with a garage and a coach house going also. Chief F12 boxed it on arrival. Engine 3 led out 3 lines right away, while Engine 1 led out a 2.5″ to the alley and knocked the main bulk of the fire. Stickney & Lyons engines dropped 2.5” lines into the gangways to protect the exposures. In all, there were 6 lines working and Truck 1’s aerial master stream. Addresses affected were 3501, 3503, & 3505 S 55th Court. Crews made a great stop to what was an already well advanced fire.
