Just a few quick shots of a fire in an occupied two-story frame that left 15 people in need of human services.  Images are about 20 minutes in.  Fire started on the first and made it’s way into the attic.  Incident was in the 400 block of West 61st Place, in Chicago.

Companies were dispatched to a still alarm Friday at 7115 s Sangamon. While enroute, Engine 54 advised the EFAO that they could see the header and they indeed had a fire. E-54 arrived and boxed it. They had heavy fire showing and had the sector 4 exposure going also. Here are some of my shots.

Engine Co. 54 was first in to 7115 S. Sangamon and found fire in a 2 1/2 story frame. They made entry into to the building while Truck Co. 20 did the ventilation and searches. No victims were found but the fire did spread a bit to 7117 S. Sangamon, also a 2 1/2 story frame. Engine Co. 54’s hydrant man did find a frozen hydrant which caused the chief to ask for the Still & Box alarm. Companies made a quick knock of the fire once a positive source of water was established.

Steve Redick visited Detroit last week to photograph fires. Her submitted these images and descriptions.

Just returned from a stay in the “d”…they had several fires, but most were too far from our position to make, and those we did were already well under control when we arrived. These shots are from a box alarm … not much fire left when we arrived but some nice gritty working photos.
