Chicago working fire, 12-31-13

One more update from Eric Haak before the New Year hits: Around 11:30 AM, a fire broke out in a large U-shaped courtyard apartment building on the 5600 block of South Kenwood, near the University of Chicago. Engine 60 was the first to arrive and reported a second-floor fire. The crews were working in a dead-end cul-de-sac, and the hydrant in front of the building was frozen. As a result, Engine 63 had to back up to Engine 60 and supply them with water from a hydrant located all the way at the corner of 56th Street. To give you an idea of how fast these units operate, I arrived just four minutes after Engine 60 reported on scene, and by the time I got around to the front (which wasn’t easy due to limited parking), the fire was already under control. Since I don’t often get over that way, I took the opportunity to capture some photos of the rigs I rarely see in action. These images show firefighters in action during a winter fire, highlighting the challenges they face in cold weather conditions. The photos include close-ups of engines, trucks, and the smoke rising from the building. It’s always impressive to see how quickly and efficiently the teams respond, even in tough circumstances.
