Last Sunday night, I was on scene for a fire in the 18th Battalion area on Chicago’s west side at 1521 S. Kilbourn. Engine 38 arrived to find a two-and-a-half story ordinary building that was completely vacant and boarded up. The fire was visible on all floors, and crews faced challenges with forced entry due to steel bars behind the doors. Once they managed to get inside, the fire was intense and crews couldn’t make any progress. As a result, Battalion 18 ordered a defensive operation and pulled a box. Both Engine 38 and Engine 113, the first arriving units, had frozen hydrants on Kilbourn. Engine 99, the third due, found a working hydrant about a block east and supplied Engine 38. Engine 95 came in from the rear through an alley and used their deck gun. Their hydrant operator stretched 200 feet of 4-inch hose, broke down a fence, and connected to a mid-block hydrant on Kenneth. I was lucky enough to capture some great shots during this incident.
