The following photos occurred on a very hot afternoon in early July, 2011.  Companies found heavy fire in the rear of a Chicago bungalow near the intersection of Homan & Augusta on Chicago’s West Side. First due companies upgraded the alarm to a Still & Box as the fire had spread to the occupied exposure to the north prior to their arrival.

As usual, this fire was knocked quickly and the initial companies prevented serious damage to the exposure with an aggressive attack.

 I am not sure but I believe that this last photo is of Kevin Casey, who appeared in the movie Backdraft.  Any help confirming this would be greatly appreciated.
