Evanston IL 2nd Alarm Davis and Oak December 29 2013 - Guest - 12-31-2013 Took in this job in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The fire was in the downtown area at Davis and Oak. I arrived just as they were getting water to the Skokie tower ladder. The first image shows an aerial view of the buildings. The fire involved 2 restaurants and a nail salon and threatened some additional similar occupancies. This fire was very noteworthy because it is the only time I can recall 2 tiller trucks operating at a single fire..around here tillers are a very rare beast. There was a catastrophic collapse, most likely due to the failure of the truss roof structure, but it was well anticipated and all members were well clear. This is the first batch of images..
