Just a reminder that if you are working on retirement or promotion flyers, I can send you a high resolution copy so you don’t have to use Facebook images. I’m always happy to see my images being used because that’s what they are there for. Congratulations to all who will be retiring in the next few weeks.

***TODAY*** Chicago Fire Department Working Fire - 7922 South Marquette Avenue

It has been real difficult as of late. I just haven’t been close enough to get anything very interesting photo wise. This fire came in at 0520 hrs. I was nine miles out and had to take the long trip to the East Side. First in Engine Company reported fire showing from the “B” side. By the time I arrived, most of the work had been done. This particular home was also surrounded by a considerable about of overgrowth which limited the available angles to shoot to only the front. I’ll rack it up again next weekend and see if I can break out of this slump. There has been a lot happening lately, just bad timing and difficult locations.

***TODAY*** Chicago Fire Department Still & Box Alarm - 2212 South Keeler Avenue

I’m not positive, but I believe Engine Company 38 may have been sent to a rubbish in the vicinity of Cermak and Keeler. At 0529, they came over the radio reporting that they had found an apartment building on fire and asked for a still response. The fire was boxed a few minutes later as one victim had been located with others reported still trapped. The fire was mostly in the back porches with some fairly deep extension into apartments in the rear. Two victims were transported in critical condition.

***TODAY*** IGNITE THE SPIRIT - 1st Annual Softball Tournament CFD vs CPD

Members of the Chicago Fire Department battled members of the Chicago Police Department today at Wentworth Park, raising money for both the Ignite the Spirit and Light the Line Foundations. CFD won two of the three hotly contested tilts. My photos are heavily CFD with a few of the officers as well.

***August 16, 2026*** Chicago Fire Department Still & Box Alarm - 6720 South Jeffery Boulevard

Just a quick post to wrap up the summer. The fire was on the fourth floor of a large courtyard apartment building. I am going back to only weekend and holiday posts so incidents on weekdays are out. I’m up early nearly every Saturday and Sunday morning so if you catch something between 3:30-8:00, you’ll probably see me there. Until the next one, stay safe and I’ll see you on the streets.

***TODAY*** Chicago Fire Department Working Fire - 7545 South Emerald Avenue

Around 1030 this morning. 2-story, ordinary, 30x60 with a fire on the second floor, b-side. I was 3.5 miles away and it was mostly out before I arrived. Just can’t get anywhere quick in the summer. I was able to get a nice decon shot for those who’ve been asking about those practices. There were a couple pit bulls in the residence that did self evacuate but the hose line did not miss their💩.

The South Side Sultans and Bad Boys of Roseland working together this morning to extinguish a fire in this 1.5-story residence. It’s always great to see highly competent fire companies at work.

***TODAY*** Chicago Fire Department Working Fire - 4732 South LaPorte Avenue

The reason I started this page was to provide the general public some insight into what the fire service does and to provide images for family and friends of those who do the job. That includes sometimes shooting in not the best conditions. This morning was dark and dreary with a steady rainfall. Challenging photographic conditions, having to continuously keep the camera dry and the lens free of droplets. So these images are a little less quality but still gives you the idea that firefighting goes on in all conditions. This appeared to be a kitchen fire extinguished with the crosslay in quick order.
