It was at approximately 24th and Cicero—a former railroad maintenance building, specifically an old roundhouse. The aerial photo was taken using the new Apple Maps app. When I arrived, there wasn’t much left to see in terms of fire, but they had two elevated master streams ready to go, so it must have looked impressive at the start. From the radio chatter, I think they were dealing with an old railroad engine on fire. The Lyons squad was supplying a foam line into the structure, though I’m not sure if it was Class A or B foam. I really liked the shot of the hole cut through the fence to access the hydrant—wondering how they knew it was there. The Berwyn engine was running a long relay with a large-diameter hose (LDH) all the way across Cicero Avenue. If anyone has more details, feel free to share.
