I just arrived at the scene of this fire on Newcastle Street, near where Chicago Still Alarm operates out of their station at 5701 N Newcastle. It’s been going on for about 15 minutes, and as soon as I pulled up, I could see flames shooting out of the roof. The fire companies moved quickly, getting into the attic and attacking the fire from below in no time.
There were a few things that caught my attention during this incident. First off, check out how Truck 55 is positioned—some folks call this “beaching,†and it really seemed to work well here. Also, take a look at the ground ladder setup; they’ve got ladders placed around all sides of the building, which is great for ensuring access from every angle. Speaking of rigs, those images of Squad 7 look like something straight out of the TV show *Chicago Fire*. That “7†on the door looks like a solid piece of tape job to me—it gives me the impression they’ll be keeping this vehicle for a while. It’s always interesting to see action in an area that’s usually so quiet.
The photos speak for themselves. You can see the intensity of the flames coming through the roof, and the firefighters scaling ladders to tackle the blaze. There’s also a shot of the fire truck on-site, looking ready to roll despite the chaos around it. Another image shows the crew placing ladders up to the windows, working methodically to contain the situation. This whole event was a reminder of how quickly things can escalate, even in neighborhoods you’d least expect.
Overall, it was a fascinating job to witness, especially given the usual tranquility of the area. I’ll keep an eye out for any updates or further developments in case anything noteworthy happens.
