This from Eric Haak:
The 22nd Battalion had a Still and Box alarm fire in an occupied frame house at 16 E. 102nd Place that came in around 0600 hrs 1/4/17. Radio communications of companies landing and size-up can be heard at the beginning of the video clip. Temperatures were in the single digits. All occupants made it out of the residence safely. Squad 5’s Snorkel was eventually backed down the alley to the North and went to work on extinguishing the heavy fire that was on the second floor. I arrived after companies had already gone defensive.
This Steve Redick:
Had the chance to take in a job in an area I seldom ever get to … Evergreen Park. The fire was in a local landmark restaurant at 3701 W 95th St. Admittedly I got a late start but arrived as they were again going defensive. I was able to document some widely varying conditions as well as some apparatus I have never seen before. SS3, the snorkel, actually once belonged to Wilmette. In my opinion the turning point of the fire was when they used the basket close to the ground and put the master stream into the front door where some heavy smoke conditions were present. I also observed an unusual operation using engines in line and a 3 way divider as you will see in the photos. All the images can be seen on my site.Steve
