Still Alarm 236 S. Cicero, 9-7-14

This is from Steve Redick.

Recently, I responded to a fire call. There wasnâ€™t much visible fire, but there were a few interesting details worth noting. The building was in really poor conditionâ€”several sections of the roof had already collapsed before the fire, and access was extremely limited. Interestingly, it wasnâ€™t classified as a red X building, which is unusual given its state. I managed to capture some video and photos showing a Chicago stripping ladder being used as a battering ram to remove plywood window coverings. This is an impressive tool that's pretty unique to Chicagoâ€”though itâ€™s not typically used for climbing, itâ€™s commonly used during ventilation to pull up roofing materials. Itâ€™s definitely a versatile piece of equipment. Class A foam was also deployed at this incident, which is a good sign of modern firefighting techniques. The crew had a spare snorkel, and even though it wasnâ€™t fully utilized, there were some nice rig shots captured. Overall, it was a solid response with some notable tools and tactics on display.
