From the Chi-Town Fire Photos:
The Chicago Fire Department responded to an active fire on the northwest side early Sunday morning at 2230 N Narragansett on December 1, 2019. Engine Company 125 was dealing with flames spreading through the walls and attic of a 1.5-story wood-frame house. During the operation, two fire hoses were deployed, and Truck 53 along with Squad 2 made multiple cuts in the roof for ventilation. It seemed like a very labor-intensive fire to handle. Engine 125 is still using a spare engine following the crash they experienced several months ago. I heard that they’re expecting to get their usual assigned E-One back within the next week or so.
Here’s a quick summary of the units involved:
- Engines: 125 & 68
- Trucks: 53 & 58
- Battalion: 8
Rescue operations were also underway, with WRKF providing support. They had RIT Battalion 7, RIT Truck 57, and Squad 2 on standby as part of the response team.
I’ve included some images from the scene below. The first photo shows firefighters cutting into the roof to ventilate smoke, which is a crucial step in controlling fires like this one. Another shot highlights Engine 125 operating out of a spare engine, which gives you an idea of how long they've been without their primary vehicle. There are also photos of firefighters post-operation, their faces streaked with soot, showcasing the intensity of the effort required to bring such a blaze under control.

It’s always humbling to see the dedication and hard work of our firefighters, especially when faced with challenging situations like this one. Let’s hope Engine 125 gets their rig back soon and continues to keep the community safe.
