Chicago 2-11 Alarm fire 7-24-13

    Here's a message from Eric Haak:

    On Wednesday afternoon around 4:40 PM, a fire broke out in a large "S"-shaped courtyard apartment building located at the corner of Lunt and Bell. Firefighters arrived quickly and contained the blaze, which eventually escalated to a 2-11 alarm. Engine 102 was the first to arrive on scene and reported flames on the second floor. They are shown below preparing to deploy the tower ladder. Truck 25 had their aerial device in sector one, while Tower Ladder 21 was positioned at the corner of Lunt and Bell. The back porches were affected, but their visibility was limited due to the building’s unique shape. When I arrived at 5:15 PM, most of the fire had moved to the top floor and the roof, which was hard to see because of the tall trees lining the street. Rehab Unit 572 was set up on Bell Street, as seen below.

    Editor’s note: It's rare to see an HME engine and an HME tower ladder working together at a fire scene — it makes for a powerful and coordinated response.
