This is from Larry Shapiro: A call reporting a house fire at 102 S. Chester was received by the Park Ridge Fire Department just before 10 AM on Saturday, February 15, 2014. As units were en route, they spotted a header, and upon arrival at the corner of Chester and Garden, they found the back porch on fire with a worker suffering burn injuries. The incident was upgraded to a Code 4 due to the active fire. Engine 35 encountered a frozen hydrant at the scene, so firefighters hand-jacked a hose from Tower 36 to another hydrant half a block south. Fire companies quickly brought the main fire under control, but they discovered limited access to the second floor. The house was unoccupied at the time and appeared to be in the final stages of renovation. Multiple departments responded, including Park Ridge Engine 35, Tower 36, both Park Ridge ambulances, and Battalion 35. Additional support came from Rosemont and Niles with trucks, Morton Grove with a squad, Norwood Park and North Maine with engines, and ambulances from Lincolnwood and Elk Grove Village. I arrived after the fire had been extinguished and have photos from the scene. Mutual aid companies on Chester. Larry Shapiro photo Rear of the house as seen from Chester.

This was a challenging response due to the frozen hydrant, and it highlights the importance of having backup water sources during emergencies. The crews worked efficiently despite the difficulties, and I appreciate the effort they put in to contain the fire quickly.
