Cicero (IL) companies responded to a reported apartment fire at 1401 51st Court early Monday afternoon (1/11/16). Arriving companies had smoke at the eaves of the three-story, frame, multi-unit building. After companies were forced out of the structure they setup for defensive operations and upgraded to a Box Alarm about 30 minutes later.

Several hand lines were used as well as master streams from Cicero Truck 2, Stickney Truck 1201, and Cicero Truck 1. There was a special call for the Forest Park tower ladder which went into service after Cicero Truck 1 was shut down. All Cicero engines were pumping in addition engines from Stickney and Lyons.

Both the Waukegan Fire Department (IL) and the North Chicago Fire Department (IL) received calls during the early morning of October 10, 2015 about smoke in the area or reporting a fire. When companies responded, they found heavy fire at Waukegan Towing and Auto Repair, 1115 Elizabeth Street, which is very close to Waukegan’s border with North Chicago.

The alarm was upgraded to a Box Alarm for change of quarters only before being filled out to bring additional units to assist at the scene.

3-11 Alarm church fire in Chicago – October 7, 2015 (part 3)

Yesterday about 0600 at 64th & Woodlawn in Chicago.. Large monolithic type church building with an attached school. Extensive remodeling was taking place and apparently spontaneous ignition of some varnish soaked rages was the origin.

The fire was in the choir loft and involved the roof in short order. It was pretty much defensive from arrival. The attached school building was apparently being used as a  shelter for challenged people.

The fire was confined to the church occupancy. Three tower ladders, a deck gun, and multi-versal in addition to a point of vantage line were all used. This area was once the equivalent of the south bronx … large vacants and numerous fires.
