Box Alarm in Lyons, 3-30-14 (more)
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share some quick updates and photos from the recent box alarm fire at 4142 Maple. The situation was pretty intense, and I’m glad to say that our firefighters did an amazing job containing it before it could spread further.
I’ve got a few shots here taken by our newest contributor, Dylan Gresik, who really nailed capturing the intensity of the scene. A full gallery with more images will be up on our website, chi-townfirephotos.smugmug.com, in the next couple of days. Big thanks to Dylan for his incredible work!
In the meantime, check out these shots below. You can see the smoke billowing from one of the first photos, followed by some dramatic shots of the fire raging through the roof. There’s also a great image of a Seagrave quint in action, along with a couple of Pierce fire engines drafting water from a nearby pond. It’s always impressive to see how resourceful our teams are in situations like this.
Stay safe out there, and as always, keep an eye on your communities for any signs of trouble.
Take care,
Drew Gresik
