Working fire in Chicago – September 7, 2014

Took in this job a few days ago. Not much to see firewise but a couple of interesting things. The building was in horrendous shape..several parts of the roof were collapsed (prior to fire) and access was very limited at best. Ironically this was not classed as a red x building. I was able to get some video and photos of a Chicago stripping ladder in use as a battering ram to knock out the plywood window coverings. This is a great tool and pretty unique to Chicago…seldom used for climbing but primarily used to pull up roofing materials during ventilation.. Class A foam was also used at this alarm as well. The squad had a spare snorkel but some decent rig shots were available.

Chicago rolled up on fire in the basement of a 100×200, three-story, residential (and vacant) over retail late Wednesday night. The basement was fully charged and companies were pulled out before they could initiate an attack with high-expansion foam.

The fire went to 3 alarms and required companies to stay on the scene for another day. Several area photographers were at the scene and there will be a few posts with images.

These are from Gordon J. Nord, Jr. and Steve Redick.

Heavy smoke was pushing from a vacant warehouse in Niles, IL when companies arrived Tuesday evening. All operations were conducted from the exterior and an in-line pumping operation was established due to the building’s location in an industrial park at 7847 Caldwell Avenue. One additional engine was added to the working fire response, and the fire was declared under control within 30 minutes.
