This from Larry Shapiro:

Chicago had a Still & Box Alarm Thursday afternoon (2/4/16) in a vacant 1 1/2-story frame at 6125 S Justine. The fire communicated to exposures on either side of the original fire building, one was vacant and the other was occupied. I arrived as the fire was declared out and stayed for some of the overhaul. Squad 5A is down and they’re using the spare squad that was striped for the television show.

Excerpts from Fox6now.com:

Firefighters and police officers on Tuesday, January 19th were called out shortly after 11:30 a.m to a fire with occupants trapped inside at a home near South and Elm Streets in the City of Lake Geneva.

The home was fully engulfed when police and firefighters arrived at the scene, but four people who were downstairs were able to get out of the home safely.

Two adults with a baby who were upstairs crawled out onto the roof of the home. They were able to toss the baby to a police officer, while a neighbor found a ladder to help the adults down from the roof, but the ladder collapsed and a woman fell.
