Working fire in Morton Grove, 8-28-14

This is from Larry Shapiro:

While returning from the 3-11 alarm fire in Chicago, I was on the Edens Expressway when Morton Grove was dispatched to a reported house fire at 5845 W. Keeney. The incident was upgraded to a Code 4 working fire before units arrived, based on a police report confirming the presence of a fire.

I arrived shortly after the first crews had already made entry. The fire had burned through the first-floor roof of the small split-level home but was quickly brought under control. Here are some photos from the scene.
