A few pictures from the Still and Box at 11661 S. Western Ave in Chicago Friday afternoon (1/6/17). These pictures were taken by my daughter Heather Garcia who lives near the fire.

I was able to take in the Still & Box at 11661 S Western Ave. but I only was able to use my phone for pictures. It appeared to have begun in the garage that’s attached to the house in the back then extended into the house on both floors. Squad 5 was out of service so a extra truck was called for.
At around 6am (Saturday 4/25/15), the Harvey FD was called for a structure fire at 150th St & Winchester. Engine 4 was the 1st on scene with a fire in a 25×40, abandoned, 1 1/2-sty frame house. Fire was in the rear and had spread into the attic area. Command requested the Full Still on Box# 3 which brought Riverdale with a squad, Posen with a squad, a deputy chief from Country Club Hills, and safety officer from Flossmoor. The fire was struck out at around 7am. These photos were taken after the fire was struck out.
