4 – Alarm fire in Shelton, CT, January 6, 2014

From the CTpost.com:

A fire early Monday led to a building collapse, a water main break and massive excavations that threw the city’s downtown into chaos as businesses were forced to close, traffic was detoured and dozens of residents were displaced. Five people were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

… the blaze, destroyed the four-story structure at 434 Howe Ave. Evening temperatures plummeted, freezing some of the thousands of gallons of water that flowed over nearby streets onto the Derby-Shelton bridge after being pumped throughout the day on smoldering debris.

The blaze, which began shortly after midnight, caused the building’s upper levels, which housed 27 families, to collapse atop street-level businesses like Howe Convenient, a florist and a barber shop. Smoke, water and debris damaged the adjoining Liquid Lunch and Joy Lee Chinese restaurants. The building that burned Monday was built in 1880.

At approximately 05:40 St Charles (IL) was dispatched for smoke in the building at 828 S. 3rd. Companies found a fire in the basement. A box alarm and then 2nd alarm were called.

The building collapsed prior to my arrival and companies were in a defensive mode when I arrived using 1-ladder pipe, 1-deck gun and 7-handlines.

I have attached my website and a short you tube video.

House fire in the Central Stickney FPD (IL) – December 19, 2013

Some time before 0600 hrs on Thursday, December 19th, the Central Stickney Fire Protection District was dispatched to a house fire on the southwest corner of Lockwood Avenue and 49th Street.  Companies arrived to find fire in a vacant, 2.5-story ordinary.  This was the second fire in this residence and the garage was burned down a year or so ago.

I took this in on my way to work and when I got there, operations were strictly exterior.  Fire had burned through the roof and most of it had collapsed into the attic space.  Since I did not hear this dispatched, I am not sure why Central Stickney’s Truck 906 was not on scene.  For those not familiar with Central Stickney, the fire building was four blocks from their station.  Central Stickney Engine 905 (hydrant on the corner of 49th and Lockwood), Bedford Park Engine 710 (hydrant on the corner of 49th and Lorel), Stickney FD Truck 1204 (aerial raised off 49th Street) and Summit Engine 951 (not pumping but manpower working) were all on scene.
