I arrived 25 minutes into this job which started just before noon on Monday in Chicago at the intersection of Thomas and Pulaski.  The temperature at that time was -14 and the wind chills were varying around -35.  There was not much to see as far as firefighting but with much respect to all people working outdoors in these conditions, I thought I would share some images of companies picking up.

At approximately 05:40 St Charles (IL) was dispatched for smoke in the building at 828 S. 3rd. Companies found a fire in the basement. A box alarm and then 2nd alarm were called.

The building collapsed prior to my arrival and companies were in a defensive mode when I arrived using 1-ladder pipe, 1-deck gun and 7-handlines.

I have attached my website and a short you tube video.

Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago – January 2, 2014

Shortly before 1400 hrs on Thursday, Chicago’s 15th Battalion Chief called for a Still & Box alarm on the 4000 block of South Brighton Place.  Chicago had been dealing with a fairly heavy lake effect snow storm for most of the day and a heavy squall was moving through the Southwest Side at the time.  Originally dispatched as an alley garage, the 15th Battalion reported that he had exposure problems to a residence and one other garage.  This turned out to be a large alley garage that was extended and attached to the residence.  Companies had smoke pushing from the second floor of the residence and heavy fire throughout the garage.  Although I arrived a few minutes after the fire had been knocked, I thought I would share some of the images of companies picking up in the snow.

December 20 2013

4 Alarms Westford Ma – fire was in an occupied dwelling. No one was home at the time of the fire, but the fire did have a significant head start prior to arrival.  On arrival FF’s had heavy fire conditions out the front door pushing them back unable to gain entry.  Seven area departments arrived on scene mutual aid.  Hydrant lines were about 1 mile away from the building.  It took about 90 minutes to bring the blaze under control.

5 residents; 2 adults and 3 children were left homeless.  The fire was a total loss.
