Lincolnwood, IL Restaurant Fire 3900 Devon 5/8/13

[Guest]

Took in a job at a local landmark restaurant, Myron & Phil's..3900

Devon. The fire appeared to be in a storage area attached to the rear of

the building. The fire was through the roof about the time I arrived,

but was pretty well confined to the kitchen and storage area. Apparently

the Lincolnwood tower was OOS...both the reserve and frontline

Lincolnwood engines were there, and the Skokie tower was used for roof

access. I believe 1 member was injured..didn't sound serious from what I

could gather.

Ironically, Myron Freedman, the founder, passed away 30 minutes before the fire broke out.
