The Harvey Fire Department had a Full-Still Alarm this morning at 10 W. 147th Street for a fire at a tire storage facility.

Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:

Firefighters responded to a fire early Thursday in suburban Harvey … at a tire shop near 147th Street and Ashland Avenue.

When firefighters arrived, a building on the property was fully engulfed and crews took a defensive position outside the structure … the site formerly housed a lumber yard.

This from Eric Haak:

The East Chicago Fire Department in Northwest Indiana responded to this structure fire at 1500 hrs on Monday (8/25) afternoon. The fire building was located at 14741 South Tod Avenue and appeared to be a vacant apartments over bar or restaurant. The building was about 100 feet deep and the fire eventually consumed most of the frame attic space. Images in this gallery are taken nearly 3 hours into the incident.

I would also like to take this opportunity to formally launch my new web site. It is still a work in progress and I have a lot to add, but I am satisfied enough at this time to put it out there. Images from this fire and many other incidents can be seen at http://wcfs.smugmug.com/. Hope you enjoy.

Central Stickney FPD house fire, 12-19-13

This from Eric Haak:

Some time before 0600 hrs on Thursday, December 19th, the Central Stickney Fire Protection District was dispatched to a house fire on the southwest corner of Lockwood Avenue and 49th Street. Companies arrived to find fire in a vacant 2.5 story ordinary. This was the second fire in this residence and the garage was burned down a year or so ago. I took this in on my way to work and when I got there, operations were strictly exterior. Fire had burned through the roof and most of it had collapsed into the attic space. Since I did not hear this dispatched, I am not sure why Central Stickney’s Truck 906 was not on scene. For those not familiar with Central Stickney, the fire building was four blocks from their station. Central Stickney Engine 905 (hydrant on the corner of 49th and Lockwood), Bedford Park Engine 710 (hydrant on the corner of 49th and Lorel), Stickney FD Truck 1204 (aerial raised off 49th Street) and Summit Engine 951 (not pumping but manpower working) were all on scene.
