This from Eric Haak:

On Saturday, November 19th, the Chicago Fire Department responded to the report of a house fire shortly after sunrise. The Englewood Fire Alarm Office had received two different locations and the first engine arrived at the first address with nothing showing. The alarm office advised they were also getting calls for 74th Street and Engine 54 landed with a fire a few seconds later. The residence was occupied but no one was at home at the time. The last photo shows a little modification made to a spare rig.

The Northbrook Fire Department received a call this evening reporting a barn fire at 2500 Pfingsten Road at the corner of Highland Road. The first unit on the scene was Glenview Engine 8 who confirmed a working fire in a commercial garage belonging to the Wilson Lawn & Landscape Company. They pulled a line and were soon joined by Northbrook Tower 12 and other Northbrook units. The alarm was upgraded to a Code 4 which brought trucks from Northfield and Glenview, a Lincolnshire-Riverwoods ambulance, and additional Northbrook companies.

As the fire spread throughout the garage, companies pulled back and initiated a defensive attack which included an elevated master stream from Tower Ladder 12.

Box Alarm in Park Ridge 9-25-12

This from Steve Redick:

100 block of N Wisner Tuesday evening … apparently there were workers on the roof and they were reporting the fire. As I arrived the horns were being sounded to evacuate , and it sounds like all the searches had been completed. Fire was showing from the rear attic area … but due to the setting sun and access problems it was difficult to shoot. The tower ladder was put to work as well as some exterior handlines, and the exposures were well covered. I was able to finally see the North Maine rebuild, and Desplaines had the E1 (which I think may be a spare) working a large diameter supply line to Park Ridge. It was over pretty quick but caused a lot of damage and a good part of the roof was burned through. I have posted the video here.
