21 engines, 6 trucks, 4 tower ladders, 1 squad, 1 command van, 8 battalion chiefs, 11 other field chiefs, district chiefs and officers (Fire Commissioner and Deputies), along with 6 special units such as the hazmat truck, light wagon, and deluge wagon. Also 4 ambulances responded as the alarm level progressed.
Yes. It is Reserve Snorkel 1( Radio signature is 661 ) It's an old 1982 85' Seagrave! Good video....also on scene was a Hose Wagon (612), a turret unit (676) and a HazMat Unit (512) who used it's spare rig which is painted as Squad 3 for the TV show Chicago Fire !!!

It wasn’t vacant, in fact my friend’s band “Rival” had their rehearsal space there and lost all of their gear. It was a great rehearsal room, with a stage, a lounge area, a pool table, and the sign from Smiler Coogan’s.
Thanks for the response.But a 2 1/2"handline with 45psi at a 1 1/8"tip delivers 250gpm,With a1 1/4" tip it can deliver 300-350gpm. A 1 1/2" tip moniter with 100psi should deliver about 500-600gpm,a 2" tip @100psi delivers 1200gpm.So there must have been many thousands of gallons of water delivered every minute.
+KevGilder It is the level of alarm 5-11 = 5 alarms, the most in Chicago, anything after that is a Special Alarm & the Incident Commander has to request what equipment he wants.
It took almost 9 hours to put out this fire. I could be wrong but I think there were at least 22 engine companies, 9 truck or tower companies, 2 squads, like a dozen battalion and district chiefs, and haz-mat units since it was declared a Level I Haz-Mat incident.
Also, for benefit of those not in the know, be careful about saying "struck" (or more properly "struck out"), laymen might interpret that as "fire is out", other departments mean that as alarm sounded, not the case here! CFD usage = "situation stable, no further upgrades will occur, some equipment may be released". Washdown and overhaul problably went on until noon at least!
5-11 Rundown...water flow alarm 0136, Eng 56 & Truck 13 assigned. 0142 a full Still Alarm assigning Eng 106, Trk 28, Tower 21, Squad 2, Comm 272, Batt 7 & 10. Amb 48 and 452. At 0202 it went to a Box Alarm with 2 more Engines, another Truck, 2 Batt Chiefs, a DDC Chief, and another ambulance. At 0243 a 2-11 was ordered. 4 more Engines, 2 Trucks and another Tower, 3 more Batt Chiefs, and other Chiefs incl Commisioner (213?), 0322, 3-11 ordered. 4 more Engines and it just kept going! Struck at 0928
@0202, shouldn't that be "added a Box"? Result would be a "still & box" assignment, not, as you say, "to" a Box. Sorry to be picky about an otherwise excellent summary.
yeah it took that long i live in the neighborhood fire trucks everywhere red cross battalion chief division chiefs. the wrecking crew finally knocked it down as of today. the whole neighborhood was filled with smoke.
It was, to all appearances, a hot day (another [1 hour] vid of same incident shows rehab truck, red cross AND service canteen on scene, water being handed out) @5:12, ff pitching something (bottle of water?) up to ff in the snorkel squad bucket. ff's aren't going to wear any gear they don't absolutely need, less heat exhaustion, hence ff's & chiefs with turnout gear off (!) later in video. Smoke wasn't that bad.

great coverage!
9-2-3 is an MVU or Mobile Ventilation Unit also sometimes referred to as a smoke ejector. CFD has been a proponent of their use for several decades.
It took almost 9 hours to put out this fire. I could be wrong but I think there were at least 22 engine companies, 9 truck or tower companies, 2 squads, like a dozen battalion and district chiefs, and haz-mat units since it was declared a Level I Haz-Mat incident.
nice camera work and good shots
The truck at 5:27 is the mobile ventilation unit.
Yes, that's exactly what it means. the "11" part of the code is a holdover from the old-time telegraph alarm system.
Also, for benefit of those not in the know, be careful about saying "struck" (or more properly "struck out"), laymen might interpret that as "fire is out", other departments mean that as alarm sounded, not the case here!

humm wat is the rode service truck

Nice video man!
At 3:40 what is RS1? "Reserve Snorkel 1"?
which they run empty quick an must refill at a lake this type fire would take hour s to extinguish as they needed to refill about 2 or 3 times im sure
Probably took half a day just to take up all that hose.I wonder how many GPM were flowing.Does anyone know what was in that warehouse?

Anyone know what the truck is at 5:27
Kev Gilder ventilation truck
Think the 5-11 means the time when the fire started....5 past 11
Kev Gilder lol
Nice Footage!
rj4590 - The 12 "master streams" used on this fire were each capable of delivering 350 US gallons (1,300 L) per minute or more.
