A still & box was called for around 0715hrs followed by a 2-11 on Sunday morning, September 8th in Chicago’s 19th Battalion. Engine Company 54 deck gunned most of the heavy fire on the second floor. By the time companies led out, the fire had advanced to the third and was blowing out the front of the building. A RAM and several hand lines were used from the exterior to bring the fire under control in quick order. A tower ladder and snorkel were set up but I don’t believe they were ever used.
The Downers Grove FD (IL) and auto/mutual aid worked a 2-alarm fire in a church at 525 63rd St in the early morning hours of 7-29-24. Police officers arrived at what originally came in as an AFA and advised that heavy smoke was coming from the building. The alarm was upgraded to a structure fire.
Crews arrived with heavy fire thru the roof from a gas fed fire. The alarm was upgraded to a box, then again to a 2nd alarm. Westmont and Lisle-Woodridge towers were set up and numerous hand lines used to contain the fire.
