New Chicago (IL) House Fire

Crews were dispatched to a reported house fire in the 3100 block of Pulaski in New Chicago, Lake Station 1 and 2 were also dispatched. On arrival heavy fire was blowing from most of the house and unfortunately two cats and a dog perished in the fire. Crews made a quick knock using two lines. One baby and an adult were treated on the scene for smoke inhalation. Investigators were working on cause and origin. Great job done by all!

Comment by drew on April 28, 2010 at 3:11pm: Good point Larry, and I would expand on those concerns with the fact that the two guys on the nozzle are not wearing air packs while the two guys backing them up are.

Comment by Larry Taggart on April 28, 2010 at 11:20am: I think that a 2 1/2" attack line could have made a quicker knock down. The one real worry is the only guy with a white helmet is on a hose line who is the IC for this operation.
