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 call 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 units 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 taken from the scene.

These images give a sense of how fast the fire spread and how quickly the crews responded. It's always a sobering experience to see the aftermath of a fire, especially in a residential area. More photos can be viewed at shapirophotography.net.
