This time, we're featuring a suburban fire scene. It was either a box or second alarm in the old Battalion 7, now known as Division 20—likely Maywood or Bellwood, though I'm not entirely sure which one. There are some action shots here, and maybe someone will recognize some of the firefighters in the photos. I've always had a soft spot for the rigs, especially the ALF water chiefs, but I remember they had their fair share of issues with the waterways.
Also included are a few photos from a fire in Glenview—a vacant supermarket. The Snorkel shown is the original Glenbrook unit before it was rebuilt.
All these images were taken in the 1980s.
