Chicago 2-11 2905 Irving Park 3/10/14
#1
his job occurred in the wee hours of Monday..the 2900 Block of Irving Park rd. A large commercial building..the aerial view made it appear to have a large bowstring truss as well as a flat roof front portion as well. I arrived just as the fire was breaking through the roof. This was a very tough fire to shoot as the weather was light rain, heavy smoke hanging low, and a friggin' center median planter with lots of trees. Also the snorkel and 1 of the towers were in spares.

2 towers and a snorkel were set up early, and there were some communication issues as well. There are a couple of shots of a company using a big line at the mouth of the alley to protect a large frame dwelling. Note the shots of truck 13 depict their new Crimson (SVI or whatever they call it now) aerial. This fire was in for a few hours and companies were there til around lunch time .
