Chicago 2-11 Alarm 49th & Halsted Feb 4, 2013 - Guest - 02-05-2013
This was at 49th & Halsted, last night. Huge industrial
complex...must have been a rubbish or contents fire..not much left to
see when I arrived. They did set up a 2nd RIT due to the size and
condition of the building. Also used the chopper for roof recon. The MVU
was set up and operated...seemed like little effect from my outside
view. I also noticed some usage of the cart mounted PPV units as well. 2
sets of 2 engines in line were used to get water on the fire..each pair
from a different hydrant. Snowy conditions made for some spotty
photos..but the available light stuff at 5000 iso really surprised me

interesting to note the prop was spinning but the flash and shutter speed make it look still.....

Although I like clean and polished apparatus, there is definitely something appealing about a hard-working, dirty rig. That means they are taking care of business, i.e. fighting fire. I have all the respect in the world for the Bubbas up north in the snow.
