Dec 24

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 1 Comment

This from Dan McInerney – from 14 years ago yesterday:

This was a fire I took in after work in 08

Still and Box at 5922 W Erie, 2 1/2-story frame, 25×50, totally involved. Box on arrival by Truck 29

Got there 3-4 minutes after 96 and the group. 

Tower Ladder 14 members were on the roof.

Right after the 4th image was taken, 2-2-4 ordered members off the roof since there were no lines on the second floor and conditions were deteriorating in the attic beneath them.

3-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 5-14-00

Jan 3

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos, Historic Fire Photo | 6 Comments

This from Eric Haak:

I thought I would share these vintage images from a 3-11 alarm on May 14, 2000.  The fire was at 71st and Wabash and the images were scanned from original negatives that I own.  The images were taken by a Sun-Times photographer but I do not have a name.  They were in very poor shape and I had to spend a lot of time editing out the scratches, however you can see that I did not get to all of them yet.  I’m sure there are some faces that many will identify, including a slightly younger Father Mulcrone.
