Today Franklin Park Engine 1 and Battalion 2 responded into Maywood for their extra alarm fire. E-1 was tasked with water supply and relay pumping. Battalion 2 was assigned as the sector chief of the “D” side of the structure. Heavy machinery was needed to pull the sides of the building off after an early roof collapse in order to reach the fire. Here are some photos the “D” side.

The family of fallen FF Altman needs our support.

FF Mike Altman of the Chicago Fire Department, assigned to Truck 47, was critically injured today while doing what he always does- putting others first. During a primary search at a structure fire, Mike fell through the floor into a room that was fully on fire. Mike is not only a dedicated firefight
