Chicago FD Engine 45

All posts tagged Chicago FD Engine 45

Saturday (4/27/29) at 44th & Vincennes in Chicago. It looked to me like the fire was on 2 floors in a concealed space. Not much to see but a few decent images of a typical operation. All of the trucks seemed to be in spares.

Here are a few images from the still and box alarm at 4555 S. Champlain in Chicago 12/9/17. Literally around the corner and down the block from Engine 45’s house. 45 had heavy smoke from the third floor on arrival. The first image here is from about 20 minutes in. Eric Haak

This fire came in about 1:30 Saturday afternoon (1/28/17). It was in a great old home from the 1800’s at at 4500 S. Ellis in Chicago. I arrived just after it was boxed by the 5th Battalion. It looked like the fire was mostly in the attic area. The exposure was reported as vacant and in poor condition but the fire was held to the original occupied section. Eric Haak
