Had a nice opportunity to take this in last Saturday, in West Chicago, IL. Lots’a nice rig shots and some interesting fire behavior shots, and some fun group images too. All can be seen here:

this was a big miss … a well-involved vacant commercial dry cleaners at Plymouth and St Mary’s. There was a big header visible for the entire 30 minutes it took to get here … at rush hour. It was a long run in heavy traffic. This must have been a real spectacle early on.

This job was a big miss. A fully-involved, multi-unit dwelling … spectacular fire conditions … collapsed into a pile of rubble as we approached the scene. Got some nice images but nothing of tactical interest. The fire did get into an attic of a dwelling on the next block but that was contained with a redline.

This last job was the best of the trip … heavy fire in a vacant at Pennsylvania and Canfield Andover and Winchester with communication to two others. Interesting response as Hamtramk and Highland Park were due. I finally I got a shot of a Hamtramk rig. This was a good job and a good stop in my opinion. A little deck gun application before we arrived really bought some time.

This box was a fully-involved vacant at Hampton and Wayburne with no real exposures. They allowed the roof to burn off then hit it with the ladder pipe. Pretty typical job.

These shots are from 2735 Hooker. A fully-involved, vacant dwelling with a severe exposure problem to a two-flat. It still amazes me how well they keep the exposures protected with just a small hand line … usually only from the front. A ladder pipe was setup and this was over pretty quickly.
