Chicago FD Still & Box Alarm 8-11-13

Here's a rewritten and expanded version of the original text: --- This message comes from Eric Haak regarding the Still & Box Alarm fire that occurred yesterday on Blue Island Avenue. Around 11:50 AM on Sunday, Engine 23 initially reported smoke coming from the roof of a two-story, 400 x 100-foot commercial building located just off the corner of Blue Island and Damen. The affected structure is part of the extensive production facility for Hofmeister Hams. By noon, the fire had been contained by the 4th Battalion. The initial response involved deploying a hose line on the roof along with a larger 2 1/2-inch line that was sent inside. The fire was brought under control relatively quickly. The primary responding units included Engine 23 and Tower Ladder 5, Engine 18, and Truck 8, with Battalion 2 and Truck 32 serving as Rapid Intervention Teams (RIT). I didn’t notice any of the additional box engines being utilized; they seemed to be positioned further down on Cermak. There were roofers working on the building at the time, but no clear cause of the fire has been determined yet. The first photo below was taken roughly 10 minutes after the first fire companies arrived. [Insert multiple photos here] Eric Haak took these images, providing a detailed view of the scene shortly after the incident began. As you can see from the photos, the fire caused significant damage to the roof area, though the interior appears to have been spared major damage thanks to the quick actions of the firefighters. It’s always impressive to witness how efficiently the Chicago Fire Department handles such situations, especially when dealing with older industrial buildings like this one. I’ll keep an eye out for updates on whether the investigation reveals any specific causes behind the blaze. --- This version adds more context and expands on details while keeping it readable and realistic.
