CFD Still & Box Alarm on Irving Park Road 4-11-11

Chicago responded to a commercial structure fire this afternoon at 2543 W. Irving Park Road, just west of Western Avenue. The building, once the home of Illinois Battery Mfg., was engulfed in flames, sending thick black smoke visible for miles. While the first-floor commercial space was vacant, the second floor housed an occupied apartment. No injuries were reported, and a Level I HazMat response was initiated due to concerns about the contents inside. Firefighters from Tower Ladder 21 and Squad 2’s Snorkel used elevated master streams to combat the blaze, while Tower Ladder 23 was called in but remained undeployed. Tim Olk, Steve Redick, and Larry Shapiro were on the scene after the main fire was under control. Tim has shared a gallery of images here, Steve has his own collection here, and Larry also captured the event with his photos here.

Silicone Roller

Rubber rollers are used because rubber has an elasticity that no metal can provide. Metal can corrode, scratch, dent and crack, which can happen easily and often. Additionally, the texture and hardness of metals can scratch and damage any medium they come into contact with. Other materials, such as fiber-reinforced composites, can offer better quality, but are more expensive and less readily available. They are not readily available and are usually more expensive. Rubber pulleys are the most economical method while offering longer pulley life and unique physical and psychomechanical properties
