New Haven 2nd alarm 83 Blake St. dwelling fire 

03/21/20 New Haven, CT – As companies turned out from quarters they reported that they could see it and looks like a job. Engine 9 arrived and reported a two and a half story, occupied dwelling with heavy fire showing from the second and third floors. Companies stretched multiple lines with an aggressive intent to bring this fire under control. A second alarm was transmitted upon the arrival of the battalion. The fire took about an hour to bring under control. Several occupants of the dwelling were left homeless. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Niles (IL) firefighters were called to 8115 Ottawa Avenue Tuesday around 1:30PM (5/12/15). The first arriving units reported heavy fire and smoke from the rear of the two-story residence and upgraded to the Code 4 (working fire). There was a report of a person trapped on the second floor, though it turned out that with the assistance of neighbors on the ground, the occupant jumped from the second floor window with minor injuries.

Access to the rear of the house was excellent via a commercial parking lot off Milwaukee Avenue right behind the house. As Niles units prepared to make entry from the front, Morton Grove Engine 5 (supplied by North Maine Engine 1) deployed their deck gun from the rear. The fire was contained within 15 minutes.

Sunday, at Jackson & Cicero,in Chicago. Fire involved 2 buildings, both seemed vacant from what I could see. Lots of truck work, fire in knee walls. Some decent shots of some k12 saw work on forcible entry. The rear shot shows what may be at or near the point of origin and you can see how fire was in both structures.

Here are some quick shots from the Still and Box today @ 312 s Cicero Ave. I arrived about 15 min into this fire. Not to many good fire shots due the the sun, but I got some nice action shots of some guys.
