Arrived way too late for the Still & Box on Oriole (4/6/15) but thought I would send in a few images anyways. The spare engine is 86’s position at the corner of Belmont and Oriole. It must have been something to see turning that corner.

Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago – March 22, 2015

I took in this Still & Box at 8106 S. Ada Sunday morning (3/22/15). The very first image in the set was taken 3 minutes after the Box was requested. I was about a quarter mile away and there was a decent amount of black smoke drifting across the sky. By the time I parked and walked around the corner, there was almost no smoke at all. Looks can be deceiving. There were communication problems with the “D” sector exposure which was vacant, and that was the reason for the Box. The occupancy of the initial building was said to be at church.

Images from Tim Olk of a basement fire at 11343 S. Elizabeth in Chicago that briefly trapped three firefighters. An EMS Plan I and Mayday Alert were requested on top of the Still & Box Alarm for the fire itself. The firefighters were transported to an area hospital though none sustained any apparent injuries.

Here are some shots from the Still & Box Alarm on Union yesterday. Companies had water problems at first, there wasn’t any hydrants on this street. The hydrant Engine 54 had to hit was in the alley behind the house that was on fire.
