Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 1-19-20

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

01-19-2020

Sunday, (1/19/20) Battalion 18 and the group arrived to find fire in a 3-sty new construction apartment building, 40’x100′ at 4024 W. Wilcox. Fire was on the top floor and companies had a hard time reaching the seat of the fire. Engine Co. 95 lead out to the front and Engine Co. 38 lead out to the rear. With fire conditions worsening, 2-2-4 requested a Box. Shortly thereafter, crews got a good knock on the fire. In total, 3 lines were lead out and Truck 26 cut numerous holes in the roof.

This from Eric Haak:

Here are some images taken at Chicago’s second still and box alarm on Saturday morning (12/28). This came in at the same time that companies were working at the box on 48th Place. It was interesting to see Squad 1 working at 112th and State Street.

I was able to take in the Still & Box at 11661 S Western Ave. but I only was able to use my phone for pictures. It appeared to have begun in the garage that’s attached to the house in the back then extended into the house on both floors. Squad 5 was out of service so a extra truck was called for.
