Glenview house fire 4-5-13

The Glenview Fire Department was notified by a resident that the house at 1531 Maple Street was on fire. Companies arrived and reported smoke from the attic and upgraded the alarm to a Code 4 (working fire). Glenview was at the scene with four engines, two ambulances, the truck, and three chief officers. Mutual aid was an engine from Northfield, a truck from Niles, a squad from Morton Grove, and the Northbrook battalion chief.

The truck went to ventilate the roof and two lines were used from Engine 8. The fire was extinguished with 15 minutes of the upgrade and damage to the home was not extensive. Here are several images from Larry Shapiro.

Lombard Special Alarm 3-25-13

This from Steve Redick:

This is a place I very seldom get out to … I was halfway close so I took a ride. They were planning for something big I guess, but it was over when I arrived. I suspect some kind of machinery fire. I did manage to get some decent rig shots, and I experimented with a little fill flash too. I have never really seen the 2-piece Carol Stream Squad … kinda neat. The shots of the Lombard engine hooked up to the hydrant will make a good entry in my Suburban Rigs at Work Volume 2 someday …
