Still and Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 1-4-17

Here's what Steve Redick had to say:

We responded to a fire in a small house located in the 4300 block of Henderson, which was described as being in hoarder conditions. The home was situated on a dead-end street leading up to a railroad embankment. Our engine arrived first, and both units backed into the block to establish a water supply, eventually using the same hydrant. Engine 91 connected to Engine 7’s gate valve. A large tree blocked access for the aerial ladder or tower, so roof access had to be done using ground ladders only. It was a challenging situation, but the crew handled it efficiently and quickly.
