Addison 2-11 on 7-1-11
The Addison Fire Department upgraded a fire at a commercial building on Executive Drive to a Second Alarm on Saturday afternoon. John Tulipano arrived at the scene and reported that the fire originated from a laser cutting machine inside a large industrial facility. The temperature was over 95 degrees, making conditions extremely challenging for firefighters.
John captured several photos from the incident, showing the intensity of the situation and the coordinated response from multiple fire departments. One image shows the Lombard Truck 52 positioned alongside the building with its aerial ladder extended to the roof. Another photo features the Elmhurst Squad 1 in staging while crews worked on the fire.
Firefighters were seen preparing for entry into the building, fully equipped and ready for action. Additionally, Bloomingdale Engine 1 was also on standby as part of the multi-agency effort. A final image highlights the presence of the Lombard Battalion Chief, who was assigned as the sector officer during the operation.
These images give a powerful visual account of the emergency response and the dedication of the first responders. More photos are available [here].
