Schaumburg (IL) companies were sent to the SB IL Route 53 local lanes at I90 just after midnight on Wednesday (6/8/16) for fire in a semi-trailer. They encountered fire in a 40′ trailer that was fully-loaded with commercial uniforms. Battalion 5 requested two tankers from neighboring departments to supply Engine 52 with two lines off. Units on the scene included four engines, two tankers, two trucks, one squad, one chief, and two ambulances supplying manpower during the almost two-hour process to remove the smoldering contents of the truck.

Here are some images of a garage fire in the Central Stickney FPD (IL) Tuesday morning (5/31).  I was on my way to work and saw the smoke.  Address was on the 4700 block of Lockwood.  The home next to the garage was involved as well but was saved largely due to the small addition that was a buffer between the actual house.  The house did have some fire in the attic space.
