Working Fire in Cicero on 11/25/24 @ 1620 s 58th Ct. Sounds like they chased fire in the walls of this 1.5-story brick bungalow. Engine 1 had a skid load lead out and Truck 2 had numerous holes in the roof.

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.

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.
