Chicago FD house fire 5-7-13

This report comes from Dan Shevlin:

Still & Box Alarm 5814 Roscoe
Still Time: Approx 1410 hrs
Engine 94 was the first on scene, responding to a fire facing westbound and immediately deployed two lines. Truck 53 was assigned to Sector 1. Engine 7, the second engine, secured a hydrant at the northwest corner of Newport and Menard, then advanced through the alley toward the rear of the structure. Engine 68 came from the east on Roscoe and also laid a line. The Fire Alarm Operator received multiple calls about the gazebo in the rear being on fire. The flames quickly spread to the back of the Chicago bungalow, into the attic, and then to the exposure to the west. I arrived well after the fire had been fully extinguished. Thanks for the update, Dan Shevlin.

It was a fast-moving fire that spread quickly through the attic and into the adjacent structure. Multiple engines were involved, with Engine 7 and Engine 68 working from different sides. The attention to detail by all units helped contain the fire before it could spread further. Great job by everyone on scene. More photos will be added as they come in.
