Box 2800 was toned out for a reported deck fire on Tuesday, Feb. 24 3040 Holmes Run Road in Falls Church, VA. The first arriving units encountered heavy smoke and fire coming from the house and a full working fire dispatch was quickly sounded. The house contained a large amount of items and combustibles making the fire difficult to contain. Smoke continued to pour from the house for hours after the initial firefight began. Foam was applied to the house towards the end of the operation.

Vintage photos from a working fire in Villa Park, IL

These photos are of a single-family house fire on the west side of Villa Park, taken during a very cold and snowy winter afternoon in the early- to mid-1990′s. At the time the pictures were taken, units from Villa Park (including call-backs), Elmhurst, Lombard, and Addison were either on-scene or en route. Unsure if it was a General Alarm or a First-Level MABAS Box.

All photos were taken using a 35mm pocket camera- no digital or smartphones back then! Hope you enjoy the brief trip down memory lane!

Best Regards,

Brian Murphy
