Steve Redick submitted a video with radio traffic from Sunday morning’s 5-11 and Level I at 2620 W. Nelson. Steve was at the scene for 5 hours.
19 engines were pumping at the scene (106, 91, 76, 78, 112, 124, 43, 110, 56, 55, 57, 59, 14, 30, 22, 26, 44, 94, 69) along with master streams from three tower ladders (10, 21, 23), two Snorkels (S2A, 6-1-1) and seven multi-versals.
Larry Shapiro submitted several images from the fire having spent 8 hours at the scene.
Several of Chicago’s specialty units were deployed at this fire scene including 6-6-1 (the 1982 85′ reserve Snorkel), turret wagon 6-7-6 out of Engine 104’s house, 9-2-4 (the MVU), hose wagon 6-1-2, 5-1-2 from O’Hare, 5-7-2 from Engine 68’s house, and 2-7-2. (9-1-3 was at the scene but not utilized)
Four large-diameter lines fed Turret Wagon 6-7-6 so that both guns could be deployed to try knocking down some of the exterior walls for better access to the remaining fire.

We look forward to images from Tim Olk who was at the fire scene for 12 hours including the initial building demolition by a wrecking company.
