Karl Klotz took in a house fire in Frankfort‘s district last night and submitted several images with the following description:
Frankfort Ladder Co. 2 arrived to find heavy fire showing from the front and rear of this 2-story single family house. A quick knock down was made from the outside before making entry. Companies faced 20-degree weather, yet had no water problems and quickly extinguished the fire.

The Matteson Fire Department responded to a house fire late this morning at 946 Princeton. When the fire came in, companies were reportedly occupied on other calls and requested mutual aid right away. Upon arrival, they were met by heavy fire from the second floor of the two-story house. The fire was upgraded to a 2nd Alarm Box Alarm. Units at the fire were from Matteson, Frankfort, Tinley Park, Park Forest, Flossmoor, Richton Park, Crete FPD, Chicago Heights, Oak Forest, and Country Club Hills.
Karl Klotz got a good jump on the fire and submitted several images.
