Last night (June 26, 2014), I was on scene at the Still & Box Alarm located at 3325 W. Montrose Avenue. The situation was intense, and there was quite a bit of smoke involved. It’s always challenging when you have to deal with a fire that’s already spreading. I managed to snap some photos throughout the event, capturing the hard work of our firefighters. You can see in one of the images a mobile ventilation unit being used to help clear out the smoke, which is crucial for both visibility and safety. In another shot, you’ll notice firefighters working diligently with what looks like a bit of a challenge due to the smoke conditions. There were multiple angles where firefighters were battling the blaze from different sides. It’s inspiring to see how coordinated their efforts were despite the chaos of the situation. One image even shows a Chicago Fire Department snorkel in action, providing an elevated vantage point to tackle the flames more effectively. Another memorable moment was when a squad truck arrived on the scene, adding extra resources and support to the operation. These trucks are essential for handling specific tasks during incidents like this, ensuring that everything possible is done to control the fire quickly. It’s not every day that you get to witness such dedicated professionals at work. Their commitment and teamwork really stood out last night. I’m grateful to have been able to document these moments so others can appreciate the effort and skill it takes to manage a fire of this magnitude. Tim Olk photos capture these critical scenes, highlighting the bravery and precision required in firefighting operations.

Other Mining Machines

Some other types of mining machines include:

1. Dragline excavators: These are large machines used in surface mining operations to remove overburden (the soil and rock covering the mineral deposit) and extract the minerals.

2. Bucket-wheel excavators: These machines have a large wheel with buckets attached to it, which are used to scoop and remove large amounts of soil and rock in surface mining operations.

3. Underground mining equipment: This includes various machines used in underground mining operations, such as drill rigs, loaders, haul trucks, and roof bolters. These machines are specially designed to work in confined spaces and extract minerals from underground deposits.

4. Longwall mining machines: Longwall mining is a method used to extract coal from underground mines. It involves the use of a shearer machine, which cuts and removes the coal in a continuous process.

5. Continuous miners: These machines are used in underground mining operations to cut and extract coal or other minerals. They have a rotating drum with cutting teeth that scrape the material from the mine face.

6. Crushing and grinding machines: These machines are used in the processing of mined materials to break them down into smaller sizes. Crushers and mills are commonly used in this process.

7. Dredges: Dredges are machines used to extract minerals from underwater deposits, such as sand, gravel, or gold. They use a suction or bucket system to remove the material from the bottom of rivers, lakes, or oceans.

8. Trommels: Trommels are cylindrical machines used in placer mining operations to separate and classify materials based on their size. They have screens or perforated plates that allow smaller particles to pass through while larger ones are retained.

9. Jigs: Jigs are gravity separation devices used in mining operations to separate minerals based on their density. They work by pulsating water through a bed of material, causing heavier particles to settle while lighter ones are carried away.

10. Magnetic separators: These machines use magnets to separate magnetic minerals from non-magnetic ones. They are commonly used in the mining of iron ore and other magnetic minerals.

These are just a few examples of the many types of mining machines used in different mining operations. The specific machines used will depend on the type of mining being done, the characteristics of the mineral deposit, and other factors.
