This was the big job of the trip, a 4-flat going. We arrived a few minutes after the first companies to 1456 Canton. Strictly a cover the exposures and let it go job. Made for some nice images though. I can’t imagine getting used to seeing this kinda job every day like these guys do…

Early last week I made a quick “photo run by” at the box at Thomas and Central Park in Chicago. It was a red ‘X’ building, the site of previous fires. All defensive, mainly done when I arrived. Nice lighting conditions … a real rarity…

Working fire in Maywood, IL – May 31, 2014

I happened to be pretty close to this alarm the other night at 9th & Roosevelt. This looked like it had some potential but was well under control when I arrived just behind the box alarm companies. From what I could gather it was a basement fire that did spread upwards, but well controlled. Took a few rig shots, and the Hummer just doesn’t seem to fit on the fireground but is kinda cool anyway.

This fire was about 0400 hours Sunday morning, near the intersection of Harrison & Clinton in Oak Park, IL. The original fire building, apparantly a 2-1/2 story frame was nothing but sticks when I arrived … totally consumed. The fire had a good hold in exposure 4 and pretty much burned the roof off of that, and was well into exposure 2 as well. The Oak Park tower operated as well as a deck gun and several hand lines. Berwyn set up their aerial pipe at the far end of the block, but to my surprise was able to hit the fire pretty well from that vantage point. Shot a lot of rigs. An interesting job to see in an area I don’t get to much.

Chicago/suburban working fire April 17, 2014

I was able to attend an unusual incident last night. There is a small area that belongs to Chicago, that lies along Foster ave west of River rd, adjacent to O’Hare Field. This is much closer to Rosemont and Schiller Park, yet it belongs to CFD. It isn’t really a good run for either the airport companies nor engine 11. Sort of a no-man’s land. Rosemont responded to smoke in the area, as well as Schiller Park , Desplaines, and Park Ridge. CFD was notified as well. Arriving units found a well-involved tour/party type bus inside an industrial building. Park Ridge, due on auto-aide, used a deck gun to hit the bulk of the fire. Chicago companies arrived and worked in concert with all the suburban units. Another interesting aspect to this was that MVU (924) was used. This rig lives at O’Hare Field and most of us fire fan types have never actually had a chance to see the unit in operation. I also took a photo or two of the various municipality street signs at each end of the block. They used suburban style hydrants, but I think I heard the sprinkler connections on the fire building were Chicago threads. All in all a “once in a billion years” kinda deal.

4-22-78, a 2-11 at 46pl and Lasalle Ave. I processed these in my own darkroom, shot on TRI-X. I was riding on Engine 84 that day and we were due on the 2-11 … dropped a 3-inch line into the Snorkel if I remember right. Used a Canon Rangefinder camera
