This is from a Still & Box Alarm @ 5213 S Bishop on 12/22/24. Fire was in a vacant, boarded up 2.5-sty wood-frame. Engine 116 had heavy fire from the basement on arrival. A couple minutes in, Battalion 6 stated they were hitting it from the exterior of the building and they were having access problems. Shortly thereafter, Batt 6 pulled the box. They set up Tower 39 in the front of the building, and then set up Squad 5 Snorkel on the D side of the fire building in a vacant lot. Engine 116 had a bad hydrant, making Engine 123 go in-line with Engine 49 to feed them. Engine 50 also was led out with a 2.5” line in the rear, and was also feeding the snorkel.

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.

Here are a few images taken recently in Chicago. This was a vacant home in the 19th Battalion. There was fire in the basement, first floor, and attic. Most of the initial attack was done defensively. Eventually companies went interior and mopped up.

A still & box was called for around 0715hrs followed by a 2-11 on Sunday morning, September 8th in Chicago’s 19th Battalion. Engine Company 54 deck gunned most of the heavy fire on the second floor. By the time companies led out, the fire had advanced to the third and was blowing out the front of the building. A RAM and several hand lines were used from the exterior to bring the fire under control in quick order. A tower ladder and snorkel were set up but I don’t believe they were ever used.

This was a very large building used as some kind of metal recycle/refinishing operation. Haz mat response utilized with 3 tower ladders, a Snorkel, and an inline operation.
