2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 5/25/15

This message comes from Eric Haak:

Here are some photos from a severe 2-11 alarm fire that broke out early Sunday morning in Chicago. The incident took place on the 6700 block of Union Avenue. Battalion 18 was dispatched with a working fire response around 7:15 AM, and Engine 54 arrived shortly after, confirming that a two-and-a-half-story frame building was fully involved and had spread to nearby structures. Upon arrival, Battalion 18 quickly boxed the fire and reported water issues, prompting an immediate request for a 2-11 alarm. As the situation escalated, the occupied adjacent buildings also became fully involved.

A total of five engines responded to the scene, including Engine 54, 47, 84, 116, and 50. Notably, Engine 84 was operating from spare unit D533, and Engine 50 was using spare D598. Both Tower Ladders 34 and 37 were also on standby as spares. Eventually, Tower Ladder 34 was deployed, resulting in six hand lines and three master streams being used simultaneously. The fire was brought under control just after 8:00 AM, and Human Services was called in to assist with four adults and six children who had been displaced.
