The Harvey FD (IL) struck a MABAS Box Alarm for fire in a vacant apartment at 147th Street and Vail Avenue 12/26/18. They had another fire there earlier in the week.
Chicago’s Battalion 19 and companies had a very busy day on the 9th of February. This was their third fire of the day @ 207 E 71st Street. Fire throughout a 75×75 storefront. Four 2.5” landlines were dropped and Squad 5 was put to work. Shortly thereafter, BC19 pulled a box and put Tower 34 to work in the front of the building. I got in there about 30 min into the fire.
Here are a couple pictures from a box alarm in Worth, IL on 2/8/19 in the North Palos Fire Protection District. Fire was on the first floor. First companies had a quick knock. Chicago Ridge Engine 6504 made a few holes in the roof above the stairwells.

In the early nighttime hours on 2/4/2019, Townsend Fire (MA) was alerted to a fire on Fitchburg Road, just down the street from fire headquarters. On arrival companies had heavy fire showing from a four-story brick apartment building and struck quick second and third alarms, bringing mutual aid from both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As companies began their attack, conditions deteriorated with fire coming through the roof. A fourth alarm was struck and companies were ordered out of the building. Multiple aerial master streams were used to fight the fire defensively. Crews remained on scene throughout the night.
