Working fire in Gary, IN 4/11/15

This from Eric Haak:

Another busy weekend for the Gary Fire Department.  This was at the corner of 43rd and Georgia Street and was a one-story grocery store.  As you can see in the third image, water pressure became an issue at one point.  Lake Ridge was brought in as an additional engine company so that other Gary resources could remain in place.  While this was an active incident, Engine 8 had a brush fire on the opposite side of town.  Gary companies working this incident were Engines 9 and 5, Truck 2 and Squad 2.

Working fire in Gary, IN 1-31-15

This from Eric Haak:

The Gary, Indiana Fire Department fought 6 fires within 12 hours on Saturday, January 31st.  This was the last of those fires which was dispatched just before noon and was at 24th and Colfax, just 2 blocks north of Station 13.  There was also a fire at 36th and Colfax in the early morning hours.
Like the other 5 buildings, this structure was vacant.  It was a 1-story, 35×50 frame with an attached garage.  It appeared that the main body of the fire was in the rear section that looked like an addition to the original home.  An initial interior attack was made which knocked down a good portion of the fire.  Companies then backed out and the fire in the rear addition was put out from the exterior.  Also pictured are Engines 8 and 13 as well as Truck 2.
