Chicago 2-11 Fire with mayday response 8-23-13

At 6:30 PM on Friday, the companies from the Chicago Fire Department’s 23rd Battalion responded to a still alarm at the 8000 block of South Marquette. Upon arrival, they found a fire in the rear of a 24x50, two-story ordinary building. The responding engines were 72, 46, and 126, while the trucks included Truck 49 and Tower Ladder 34. Engine 126 was nearby handling a rubbish call, which explains the three-engine response. Engines 126 and 72 (using a spare unit) as well as the tower ladder were operating in Sector 1 on Marquette. The box time was recorded at 6:37 PM, with the 23rd Battalion reporting heavy fire in the rear porches and attic. I could see the fire from 95th and Halsted at that point. By 6:41 PM, the roof collapsed, triggering a Mayday alert along with a 2-11 and an EMS Plan I. Within two minutes, all units—72, 126, Truck 49, and Tower 34—had completed a Personnel Accountability Report (PAR), and everyone was accounted for. The Mayday was resolved shortly after. As you look at the photos, keep in mind that this structure had a pitched roof with attic dormers, which were no longer visible when I arrived. I was at 95th and Ashland when the alarm came in, and it took me about 30 minutes to get to the scene.
