On Thursday morning, 7/28/16, Gurnee (IL) firefighters responded to a fire at a propane storage company that reconditions and fills portable tanks. As the fire spread throughout the multitude of used and open tanks, the area was evacuated due to a concern for the main storage vessels. The fire eventually went to 7-Alarms, something extremely rare in the Chicago area. Two tower ladders, a deck gun, an ARFF units and several multi-verbals were used to extinguish the fire and keep the large tanks cool.

The Lake Forest Fire Department pulled up to a fire just after midnight on Monday and found a very large house well-involved. They requested a Box Alarm on arrival. The roof was ready to fail so they did not attempt an interior attack. The house was located at the end of a dead end street with the nearest hydrant at the end of the block. Two elevated master streams and various hand lines went to work after laying dual 5″ supply lines. The alarm was upgraded to a second alarm for additional resources before the fire was struck out 2 1/2 hours later.
Tim Olk submitted some quick phone captures.
