With no new fires to post, I wanted to share images of this commercial fire from 2010 in Maywood, IL.

The fire was in a three-story building at 20 N. 5th Avenue that housed a thrift shop, a dance studio, and an apartment, which was located at the back of the building’s second floor. Before I arrived, a boy was rescued from the apartment.

It was a cold, rainy night with low hanging smoke, all of which combined for less than ideal conditions for photography.

Both of the aerials working at the scene were unique. First was the Maywood Spartan/Darley/Nova Quintech, which was one of only a few (possibly no more than three) Nova Quintechs in the entire Chicago area. The other was a one-of-a-kind American LaFrance/Grumman AerialCat from the town of Broadview.
