Still & Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 1-31-19 (more)

Here's what Steve Redick shared:

I took this job on Thursday afternoon, and the temperatures were still below zero after a record cold day the day before. The CFD had sent a third engine to all working fires to help deal with the numerous frozen hydrants. In this case, it looked like the two closest hydrants were actually in working order, but they were just minutes away from going defensive when I arrived. The tower ladder was positioned late in the fire after moving the first-due truck and the second engine that was connected to a hydrant. The crew was really struggling with the extreme cold.
