Rosenbauer Snorkel in Chicago

All posts tagged Rosenbauer Snorkel in Chicago

Here are some images taken at Chicago’s 2-11 alarm at 9650 S. Ewing Ave. 4/15/17.  Apparently was a gas explosion. There were two transports and one was reported in very grave condition. Lighting was not optimal for taking pictures of the new snorkel but the pictures still give you a good idea of what the scene was like. Most of the fire load was in the rear and the snorkel was backed down the alley and placed in a vacant lot on the C/D corner. Eventually they relocated the snorkel to the front of the building and burned the roof off. There is also a short video of them setting up Squad 5A. Eric Haak
