Working fire in Chicago, 11-24-21

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

I took a short ride into the city and went to a working fire in the 20th battalion at 1502 w 79th street. Companies had a 3-sty ordinary vacant building with a fire on the 2nd floor. Engines 129 and 101 lead out lines and Truck 50 & 41 members made the roof. I arrived right after the first-in company. The full gallery is on my site.

Chicago working fire on S. Princeton, 12-21-13

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some shots from yesterday’s working fire on the 5600 block of South Princeton.  I got there as the aerial was being raised and, although the 17th battalion reported that he had a fire, I did not see any signs of one when I was walking up.  Appeared to be a one room fire on the second floor and as I got to the front of the building, it was mostly out.  They held the roof but I believe they did take out the sky light.  One nice side note is that a small puppy was rescued by companies who made entry and returned it to a very grateful young girl.  Engine 84 had a hydrant, Engine 47 had a line stretched but not charged, and Engine 50 responded as well.  I believe one of these companies were returning from fuel at 65th & State which was the reason for the third engine.

Chicago Still & Box Alarm 11-24-13

This from Eric Haak:

At 1412hrs on Sunday, November 24th, companies on Chicago’s south side were dispatched to a report of a structure fire on the 8000 block of South May Street.  Three minutes later, Engine 129 reported they had a fire in the basement of a 30×125, 3.5-story ordinary, occupied apartment building.  At 1420hrs, Battalion 18 reported that he had heavy fire in the basement and 1st floor of the building and he called for a Still & Box which is about the same time the first picture shown in this gallery was taken.  The fire eventually made its way to the second floor.  Besides the apparatus shown in the photos, Engine 54 took a hydrant on Aberdeen Street which is one block to the east and stretched a line through the gangway to sector 3.  The box was struck at 1514hrs and the Red Cross was assisting 11 occupants who were displaced by this fire.
