Chicago Still & Box Alarm 8-19-11
Dan McInerney captured the Still and Box Alarm on Sheridan Road yesterday and shared several photos from the scene, along with his detailed account:
"At around 2:45 PM on Friday, the 9th Battalion received a still alarm for a fire at 5757 N. Sheridan (later corrected to 5747 N. Sheridan). The Fire Alarm Officer classified it as a working fire before upgrading it to a still in a high-rise. As the 9th Battalion approached the corner of Sheridan from Hollywood, they called for a still and box alarm. Upon arrival, they found heavy fire and smoke coming from the third floor of a three-story townhome measuring 75 by 125 feet. The structure was directly adjacent to a 30-story high-rise to the south.
Engine 70 deployed their attack line and quickly contained the fire, while Truck 47 used a ladder from the southern parking lot to access the roof. A still in the high-rise response was held in place to ensure that the stairwells of the nearby high-rise were not compromised, and to prevent the building from becoming an exposure. The staging area was set up at Hollywood and Sheridan, which is the northern entrance to Lake Shore Drive (LSD), causing significant traffic congestion on LSD during the afternoon, especially as the air show was winding down."
