This from Danny Nelms:

Was in downtown Louisville today (7-7-25) and saw the ex Alsip rig in the quarters of Louisville Engine 5 and Tower Ladder 2. Was told by the on-duty crew that it was being stored at the firehouse until the truck they are going to use the main aerial for is back from a refurbishment about 6 months away.

This from Eric Haak:

Here is a synopsis of rigs that were working at Lyons Box alarm on Maple Avenue Sunday. I was too late to get anything else. There were four rigs working on Maple in front of the fire building. Lyons Engine 1312 was directly in front with McCook Engine 1411 directly north of them. Riverside Truck 1629 was working directly to the south of 1312 and Bedford Park Truck 709 was set up directly to the south of them. Lyons Engine 1316 had a hydrant on the corner of Maple and 41st Place. From there, there was a long lead to the Cermak Quarry where Berwyn Engine 903 was drafting from the pond. Forest View Engine 813 was originally set up in that position but was not pumping. Finally, Lyons Engine 1311 had a hydrant at the corner of Joliet Road and Elm Avenue, a good 2-plus blocks south of the fire building.

I got some nice rig shots of rigs from the South Suburbs at the 2-11 Fire and Haz-Mat Box at 900 E 14th Street in Chicago Heights. All these rigs are currently missing from the site so feel free to use them when the next update comes around. Thanks again!

Still alarm fire in Schiller Park 7-18-19

This from Mike Lopina:

Schiller Park FD - 10511 W United Parkway
Driving north on I-294 and saw a header & heard traffic on fireground that indicated a fire in/on the roof. Bldg at 10511W United Pkwy is a 1sty non combustible 350x150. Looked like it was going to become an extra alarm fire from the tollway, but by the time I made my way there (10 minutes), it was out, companies had made a great knock and contained the fire to a rooftop HVAC unit with some extension to the roof deck. In addition to Schiller Park Eng 5, TL 5, Amb 5 & BN 5; Franklin Park Trk 2, Leyden Qnt 133, Norwood Park Eng 101 & Franklin Park BN 490. Awesome job by the crews working; especially considering the heat.

This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.

The Alsip Fire Department along with the Garden Homes Fire Protection District and the Homewood Acres Fire Protection District had a burn down in Alsip, Illinois at 120th St. and Hamlin Ave.

All of the departments performed numerous small training evolutions in the house before having the final burn down. I arrived towards the end and was able to capture the final wrap up of a month long process.

This from Josh Boyajian:

Berwyn had a full still today @ 2216 s Elmwood. E903 had smoke showing from the 1st floor of a 3 sty brick. They dropped two lines while T904 made the roof and vented. Fire was contained to one unit of the apartment building. North Riverside was auto aid and Stickney changed quarters. Here are my pictures.
