On April 29, 2013, the Chicago Fire Department received a call about a car wash on fire in Englewood. Engine 47 was the first to arrive and reported a large one-story bow-string truss roof commercial building engulfed in flames. Due to the severity of the fire, a Still & Box alarm was requested. The 18th Battalion arrived shortly after and ordered a defensive strategy because of the unstable truss roof and heavy fire conditions. A 2-11 alarm was then activated by the 18th Battalion.
Tower Ladder 34, Tower Ladder 37, and Squad 5A were deployed for aerial operations. Despite the intense fire, the situation escalated further, prompting a 3-11 alarm to be called in by the Assistant Deputy Fire Commissioner. Firefighters operated in a defensive mode for approximately two hours before the alarm was eventually reduced by the Deputy Fire Commissioner.
The following companies responded to the incident:
**Still Alarm Companies:**
Engines 47/60, Tower Ladder 37, Truck 15, Squad 5, Command Van 2-7-4, and both the 17th and 18th Battalions.
**Box Alarm Companies:**
Engines 63/45, Truck 51, along with the 21st and 23rd Battalions.
**2-11 Alarm Companies:**
Engines 54/72/84, Truck 16, Tower Ladder 34, Engine 28 with Light Wagon 5, the 15th and 20th Battalions, and 6-4-4.
**3-11 Alarm Companies:**
Engines 39/123/116/50/49, and 5-7-1.
These photos were taken by Dennis Walus and capture the intensity of the fire that burned for several hours. The structure was completely consumed, and firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the blaze from a safe distance.
