This from Josh Boyajian:

Cicero had a good working fire at 5346 w 23rd pl Wednesday morning. F-7 arrived to find a 1.5-sty, wood frame with heavy fire showing on the first floor. Companies made a very aggressive attack and a push up to the second floor where there was fire hidden in the attic and knee walls. Engine 2 had three lines lead out and Truck’s 1 & 2 had their mains up. Here are a few shots about 10 min into the fire.

Box Alarm in Cicero, 1-11-16 (more)

This from Steve Redick:

Monday, at 14th just east of Laramie. Extreme cold conditions as well as falling snow. A very large frame-dwelling with a good volume of fire on the 2nd floor when the companies arrived. Apparently this building has been remodeled several times over the years making for very difficult firefighting conditions as the fire had spread to concealed spaces and voids. I arrived just as they were attempting to complete vertical ventilation as the fire rapidly advanced in the attic space. Eventually three aerial pipes and several handlines were operated. This was a rough job under some tough conditions.

All of the images and video can be seen here:

Here are some photos and a video of the Box Alarm Apartment Fire in Cicero on 1-11-16 at 1401 51st Ct.

Companies arrived on scene with smoke showing from the eves and fire on the second floor. They initially went for an interior attack, vented the roof letting fire through the roof. At that point they had fire on the third floor, companies pulled out and went defensive requesting a box alarm with a special request for Forest Park’s tower.

Cicero companies responded to a reported apartment fire at 1401 51st Court early Monday afternoon. Arriving companies had smoke at the eaves of the three-story, frame, multi-unit building. After companies were forced out of the structure they setup for defensive operations and upgraded to a Box Alarm about 30 minutes later.

Several hand lines were used as well as master streams from Cicero Truck 2, Stickney Truck 1201, and Cicero Truck 1. There was a special call for the Forest Park tower ladder which went into service after Cicero Truck 1 was shut down. All Cicero engines were pumping in addition engines from Stickney and Lyons.

Several photographers were at the scene.
