Chicago working fire, 12-25-13

On Christmas morning, the firefighting teams in Chicago's 18th Battalion had their hands full dealing with two significant fires that broke out just hours apart. The first blaze started around 7:30 AM in the 6900 block of South Throop. Not even an hour later, another fire erupted less than a mile away, on the 6500 block of South Marshfield. This second fire was reported at 10:10 AM. By the time I arrived about 25 minutes later, thick smoke was still billowing from the roof. The battalion chief quickly upgraded the response to a box alarm, noting that the fire had started in the basement and had spread to the first floor, with flames beginning to reach the second. The building was a modest two-story structure, measuring 25 feet by 60 feet, and was home to a duplex. Firefighters relied heavily on Engine 116 to supply water, deploying four lines to combat the flames. The official box alarm call came in at 11:05 AM. Ten residents were left without homes due to this incident. [Photos attached] The images above, taken by Eric Haak, capture the intense efforts of the firefighters as they worked tirelessly to contain the blaze.
