It was at approximately 24th and Cicero — an old railroad maintenance building, specifically a roundhouse. The aerial view 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, so it must have been quite something when it first started. From the radio chatter, I believe they were dealing with an old railroad engine on fire. The Lyons squad was supplying a foam line into the building, though I’m not sure if it was Class A or B. I really liked the shot of the hole cut through the fence to access the hydrant — I wonder how they knew it was there? The Berwyn engine was running a long relay of LDH (large diameter hose) from across Cicero Avenue. If anyone has more details, feel free to share.
