Chicago Firefighters battle a house fire

Here are some images from a still & box alarm in Chicago back a couple of weeks ago. Companies were forced to go defensive and Tower Ladder 54 was set up to finish the job.

I attended a Still & Box overnight at 2020 W Webster in the Bucktown neighborhood. Companies originally reported fire in the rear of this 1.5 story residence, and were interior making a good push. However, the cold wind soon took hold of the attic space and heavy fire conditions evolved. All companies were pulled out, Tower 21 was moved to Side A, and knocked the fire with their aerial master stream. Companies went back in to mop up.

Glastonbury, CT was dispatched to 10 Hollister Way S. for a chimney fire on 1/7/22 at 20:11. On arrival they had flames showing from the roof with the fire already having a good hold on the attic of this condo building. No injuries.

The Milwaukee Fire Department responded to a house fire just before 1 AM on Thursday, January 6th on North 22nd Street near West Wright Street and found fire coming from the second floor.

Firefighters reported the home as being occupied but they could not find the residents at the scene, however they located a cat and requested Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC).  The temperature during the fire was 15° with the wind chill being reported at -1°.  No injuries were reported.
