Cardboard Container Corporation Fire in Chicago (Caution 8 Images) - Page 2

Great shots, I like 2 and 6 best. Number 2 makes me wonder is that two stories tall w/o a floor? I tend to shy away from an internal attack with that much flame. I also noted how the building is cracking in the 3rd window. Great pictures though. Shows that fire fighters don't sit around and wash trucks all day!

Thanks! The interior attack was abandoned very early due to the Bowstring Truss Roof. Not sure exactly how it was layed out inside. The handlines towards the end were used to protect the firewall and keep the fire from spreading to the other half. Sounds like you are on the Job. I hope from my images that people understand better just how hard this job is. For a Firefighter, "Another Day at the Office" takes on a hole new meaning.

Some great pics in box alarm, what brand of gear is that?
In Des Moines have just switched to the Morning Pride Black.

Great shots! Certainly a bigger job than the arcing wire on a tree we ran yesterday.
