On Thursday, I responded to a structure fire at a residential property in Park Ridge. Upon arrival, heavy fire was already visible through the walls of a one-story addition located at the rear of the house. The exposure on Side B had been threatened earlier but was no longer in immediate danger when I arrived. Based on what I observed, it seemed like extensive overhaul work would be necessary, likely due to the unique construction methods used in the addition. Thankfully, the fire was brought under control relatively quickly.
One interesting aspect of this incident was how the first-arriving apparatus—a tower ladder—was deployed not just as a ladder truck but also as an engine company. It provided all the necessary attack lines, which speaks volumes about resourcefulness and adaptability during emergencies.
Attached are several photos taken by Steve Redick, capturing different perspectives of the scene. The images include shots of the damaged fire engine, various angles of the fire scene, and even a close-up of our battalion chief on-site. Additionally, there’s a video embedded below that gives a broader view of the situation unfolding.
Despite the challenges posed by the fire's intensity and the need for thorough investigation afterward, the team managed everything efficiently. It’s always satisfying to see everyone working together so seamlessly, especially during high-pressure situations like these.

This experience reinforced the importance of preparedness and quick decision-making in firefighting operations. While incidents like this are challenging, they also provide valuable learning opportunities for future responses.
