E-ONE Cyclone II engine

All posts tagged E-ONE Cyclone II engine

Wilmette (IL) firefighters were called to their first fire of the day Monday afternoon just before 2PM (8/22/16) at 1336 Ashland Avenue where workers were apparently on the roof. The initial report was a possible attic fire. The house was located within blocks of Wilmette Station 26 and units arrived quickly reporting smoke from the attic and some visible fire. The alarm was upgraded to the Code 4 working fire which brought mutual aid companies from Evanston, Winnetka, Northfield, Glenview, and Skokie.

The fire was knocked down within 20 minutes though companies remained on the scene for over an hour doing overhaul, venting, and chasing hot spots. Most mutual aid companies were released before 3:30PM when RED Center dispatched another house fire in Wilmette. This will be covered in a separate post.

Here are some additional images that I took at the scene of Tuesday’s massive warehouse fire in Cicero, IL. I arrived almost an hour after the initial alarm. I’ll have a video to post later.

Several photographers were at a massive warehouse fire at 1829 54th Avenue in Cicero, IL Tuesday evening. The fire started in a vacant, 3-story brick warehouse with possible squatters. The flames were fierce and quickly spread to the roof of an adjacent 1-story, occupied, commercial structure to the south. Temperatures went from 10 degrees down to 2 degrees with a windchill of -12. Companies encountered frozen hydrants and  limited water to supply all of the master streams.

Two tower ladders, one straight ladder, a TDA, a Snorkel, and a Rosenbauer/Metz platform were all flowing master streams in addition to at least one deck gun from an engine. After the 4th alarm, a task force was requested from a neighboring division with three engines and three more trucks. The Chicago Fire Department sent a ladder, a battalion chief, and then an engine and hose wagon to supply water from Chicago hydrants several blocks away.
