This fire happened in the early hours of Monday on the 2900 block of Irving Park Road in Chicago. It was a large commercial building featuring a bowstring truss in the rear and a flat roof in the front. I arrived just as the flames were breaking through the roof. The conditions made it a challenging fire to manage—light rain, heavy smoke close to the ground, and a center median with lots of trees that complicated visibility and operations. Plus, the Snorkel and one of the tower ladders were out of service.
Two tower ladders and a Snorkel were set up early, but there were some communication issues during the incident. There are a few photos showing a company using a large line at the entrance of an alley to protect a large frame structure. You can also see images of Truck 13 with their new Crimson aerial (whether it's an ERV or something else, I’m not sure). The fire lasted several hours, and crews remained on scene until around lunchtime. Here’s a selection of the photos taken during the event.
