2-11 Alarm fire and a Level 1 Hazmat, 9-8-22
At around 7934 South Hoyne Avenue in Chicago, the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) responded to reports of a still fire. As soon as they arrived, firefighters discovered a large single-story commercial building engulfed in heavy flames. The fire spread rapidly, and within minutes, it was fully boxed in. Due to concerns about potential hazards, a second-alarm status was declared along with a Level 1 hazmat classification as a precaution. The situation worsened when multiple explosions occurred, leading to a partial roof collapse. At its peak, six master streams were deployed to combat the blaze: two tower ladders, two deck guns, one snorkel, and one blitz line.
The extensive response included numerous units from different stations:
**Engines**: Engine 15, Engine 28 (West Side), Engine 64, Engine 73, Engine 101, Engine 116, Engine 121, Engine 122, Engine 123, Engine 129
**Trucks**: Truck 24, Truck 39, Truck 40, Truck 41, Truck 50, Truck 51, Truck 59
**Chiefs**: Chief B-6, Chief 19, Chief 20, Chief 21, Chief 22, Chief 23, District Chief 225, Division Chiefs 2-1-10, 2-1-22, 2-1-24, 2-1-25, 2-1-33, 2-1-9, plus many other unknown commanders and the Communications Van Coordinator 2-7-10
**Media Units**: Media Unit 4-1-9, Media Unit 4-1-10
**Special Units**: Squad 5, Special Unit 2-7-5, Special Unit 9-1-5, Special Unit 5-7-1 (In Service 6-4-18)
**OFI (Office of Fire Investigation)**: OFI Units 4-6-8, 4-6-7
**EMS Units**: EMS Units 4-4-12, 4-5-6, 4-5-8, A58, A30, A18
Despite the significant efforts, the fire caused substantial damage, resulting in multiple structural collapses. The incident highlighted the need for coordinated responses in such emergencies.

This was an incredibly challenging fire that tested the limits of our emergency services. Let's hope no one was injured during this incident.
