A 2-Alarm house fire at 192 E. 157th Street in Harvey, IL (1/22/15).

Yesterday we took in Harvey’s fire @ 192 e. 157th st. We were coming from Merrionette Park so it took us a little bit. When we got there, Harvey was on the first floor working but still had heavy fire showing from the 2nd. Crews had a hard time getting a knock on the fire due to the construction of the house, but kept it from spreading to the adjacent house to the east. Here are some of my pictures.

Full Gallery is on my site.

From Chicagoareafire.com:

Prior to receiving multiple cellphone calls, someone knocked on the door of the Leyden Township FPD (IL) station at the corner of Mannheim and Grand just before 6PM to report a fire four blocks down the road. Units found heavy smoke pushing from a one-story, commercial structure with a bow-string truss roof. The building was occupied by a tire business and was currently full of tires.

The fire, at 2200 N. Mannheim Road was in the Northlake Fire Protection District. (opposite sides of the intersection belong to either the Leyden Township FPD or the Northlake FPD). The Still Alarm was filled out and a Box Alarm, then a 2nd Alarm were requested within minutes, followed very shortly be the 3rd and 4th Alarms.

The roof collapsed early and sent flames several hundred feet into the air as companies setup elevated master streams from the Leyden quint, trucks from Northlake and Franklin Park, and then the Schiller Park tower ladder.

There were 16 engines, 8 trucks, 1 squad, and 5 ambulances at the scene.

Images from Tim Olk of an industrial fire at the Gerresheimer Glass Co., 1131 Arnold Street in Chicago Heights, IL. The fire involved a furnace that spewed molten glass which was further complicated after a steam explosion.
