2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 1-8-17 (part 2)

This report comes from Dan McInerney:

I arrived on the scene after the fire had been knocked down, coming home from work. The fire was in a two-story frame house measuring 25 by 70 feet, with flames spreading throughout the second floor and through the roof. There was a collapse in the rear section, which appeared to be an enclosed porch area. I believe the 2-11 alarm was due to a communication issue at a similar house to the east, which was quickly secured once units arrived. All of the suppression apparatus assigned to the 2-11 were staged on Chicago Avenue in front of E117’s station. Notably, E83 responded to the 2-11 with a light wagon. Given the ice covering everything, it was extremely cold outside, and the sun was just beginning to rise over the fireground.

E117 was first on scene and had three lines operating. E96 moved down to supply water to TL14, while E113 provided support for the Snorkel unit.
