This from Josh Boyajian:
I took in a Still in a high-rise Thursday @ 3245 S Prairie. First companies reported nothing showing from a 9-sty building. When I arrived, Battalion 2 requested a Box & Plan for a working fire on the 2nd floor. There was a little fire showing on the 2nd floor in the rear of the building. Engine 19 had a long lead out to the fire room. The fire was brought under control very quick.

I took in the Box in the 22nd Battalion this afternoon (4/26/16) at 254 W. 118th Street. They had a pretty decent sized 3-sty ordinary with heavy fire thru the roof. Companies were defensive with two master streams and two handlines. I arrived after most of the fire was knocked but here are some shots.Joshua Boyajian

This from Larry Shapiro:
Chicago had a Still & Box Alarm Thursday afternoon (2/4/16) in a vacant 1 1/2-story frame at 6125 S Justine. The fire communicated to exposures on either side of the original fire building, one was vacant and the other was occupied. I arrived as the fire was declared out and stayed for some of the overhaul. Squad 5A is down and they’re using the spare squad that was striped for the television show.

This from Eric Haak:
They got this one out very quickly and with the temps being what they were, I didn’t hang around to get too many additional shots.Shortly before 1400hrs on Saturday afternoon, Chicago’s 17th Battalion Chief was dispatched to the report of a fire on the 5700 block of South Indiana. While en route, the Englewood Fire Alarm Office received reports that there were occupants trapped on the second floor and the fire response was elevated to a Still and Box. The first due engine’s house was only 5 blocks away from the incident and Engine 84 was on scene in less than 2 minutes reporting a fire on the second floor of a 3-story, 30×70 ordinary, occupied apartment building. If you weren’t within a couple miles of this one, there wasn’t much to see as the fire was contained to one unit of the six-unit building.I arrived as Truck 51 was just raising their main to the roof and within a few minutes, the fire was out. All searches proved to be negative. Seven adults and six children were displaced by the fire but a family cat miraculously survived. As I was leaving, the soot and water drenched pet was returned to it’s grateful owner. It initially looked DOA but then it started moving and seemed to be fine. Still companies were Engine 84, Engine 47, Truck 51, Truck 30. I believe the box engines were 50 and 16. I have included a shot of Engine 50 seeing that it is the oldest active engine in the fleet.

This from Josh Boyajian:
Here are some pictures i took at a still and box @ 3426 w Adams. I arrived well after the fire was knocked but still wanted to submit some shots i took. Thought this one picture i took was very clever. I call it, “A lil bit of Christmas Spirit.Also here is the link to My brand new official SmugMug site that i share with Drew Gresik.Hope you enjoy! We look forward to sharing all of our photos with everybody.-Josh Boyajian
This was the 3400 block of Adams…I made excellent time but it was all done in short order. Mainly some rig shots..but this sure was a big building. Squad 3 is the one used in the series Chicago Fire, running with squad 2 at this incident.Steve
