Last night, 7661 Marmora...single digit temps. This was a campus that housed challenged adults at one time...I don't believe it has this use anymore. It is on a cul de sac and the hydrant near the building is on a dead end main I'm told. They had some long lead outs for additional water. The fire was through the roof on arrival, and they had some master streams working in short order. These are the first shots I was able to get of their new engine 17. Ice and extreme cold were definitely factors at this fire. This building appeared larger than some of the cottage types, leading me to believe it may have been used as some sort of admin center...I would also like to say bright blue mars lights on a rig ruin a lot of photos
did some black and white experimenting on some of those imagesSkokie IL Box alarm 7661 Marmora Dec 10,2013 - Guest - 12-11-2013
