I just got this update from John Tulipano, who’s on the scene of a recent house fire in West Chicago. It started as a special alarm at 923 Gates, and when crews arrived, they found flames already raging in the basement. Things got worse quickly when the fire spread upward through a plumbing wall into the dormer on the second floor. Thankfully, firefighters were able to get it under control in around half an hour using four handlines.
John sent over some photos that really capture the intensity of the situation. In one shot, you can see firefighters working on the roof, battling the blaze above. Another shows them with hoses deployed, clearly focused and determined. There’s also an image of the aftermath—firefighters in full gear going through the process of overhaul, ensuring every last ember is extinguished.
If you want to see more visuals from the incident, check out the link to John’s collection here: [http://tulipano-firephotos.smugmug.com/FIRES/32014-West-Chicago-Special/]. It’s incredible how these professionals handle such intense situations, and I’m grateful they were able to keep things under control so efficiently.
For now, though, it looks like the damage was contained mostly to the basement and upper dormer area, which is good news. Firefighting is never easy, but seeing these images reminds me of just how skilled and dedicated these first responders are.
