This is from a fire on 12/21/24. The Main Fire Alarm Office (MFAO) gave a working fire response to the corner of Homan and Congress, right at sunrise. Engine Co. 44 arrived to find heavy fire showing from a vacant grey stone at 3336 W Congress Parkway. Companies initially made an aggressive interior attack, but could not make it much past the stairs. Battalion 18 arrived on scene, pulled everyone out, went defensive, and pulled a Box. Engine 107 was the second engine and led out down a gangway to the rear and had an exposure line flowing on the D side. Engine 95 was the third engine, and they led out down the alley to the rear, and had a 2.5″ flowing on the B side exposure. Tower 5 was the Box truck, and was put to work on arrival.

Chicago firefighters were called to 2501 N. Keeler Avenue Monday afternoon (4/2/19) for a fire in a commercial food plant. When companies arrived, the fire was already in an advanced stage and burning in the center section of a long building with a sawtooth roofline. The alarm was eventually upgraded to a 5-11 and kept companies busy until late into the night. Some units were at the scene overnight and into t he next day.

Sunday night (3/31/19), the Chicago’s MFAO sent companies to a working fire @ 3104 W. Monroe Street. Upon arrival, Battalion 18 had a 3-sty brick, with heavy fire on the first, second, and third floors plus an exposure problem. A Still and Box was requested shortly after. Companies lead out 6+ hand lines and had two truck companies working the roof. For a short time, they had heavy fire venting through the roof and top floor. While working, multiple members fell through a hole in the floor which activated the Mayday Alert and 2-11. I believe the RIT team did remove one of the injured firefighters from the rear of building. Tough fire and a lot of work. Thankfully the injuries sustained were not life threatening. These photos began about 10 minutes into the fire.
