Chicago firefighters were heavily engaged overnight and early this morning dealing with two extra-alarm fires. The Englewood Fire Alarm Office received calls around 5 a.m. about a fire at a four-story courtyard building located at 714 E. 82nd St. The incident quickly escalated, prompting a significant response from local emergency services.
Radioman Dave Weaver shared some exclusive audio and commentary, including the following details: "The fire was dispatched as a Still & Box Alarm by the Englewood dispatcher just two minutes after the initial call. Jumpers from a nearby apartment were en route to the scene when they reported in. Engine 82 provided a critical size-up at the 4:55 mark."
An embedded audio player is available for those interested in listening to the real-time radio transmissions. Although the link may not be fully functional, it offers a glimpse into the chaos and coordination during the emergency.
A live video stream from Radioman911.com on Justin.tv is also available, though it's worth noting that the content might not be accessible due to platform changes over time.
NBC5 is expected to post a video update later today, so stay tuned for more coverage. Additionally, the Chicago Tribune has already published an article with more details and photos, which you can view [here](#).
Local photographer Steve Redick visited the scene later in the morning and captured several images of the ongoing firefighting efforts. His photos show crews working hard to control the flames and assist residents.
One image features Squad 5 using a spare Snorkel unit near the corner of Sector 1 and Sector 2. Another shows a fire truck positioned in front of the building, with multiple ground ladders deployed at various windows. A third photo highlights Engine 82, the still alarm engine, stationed near a hydrant down the street.
According to the Chicago Tribune, at least four people were injured and others were rescued from the burning building using ladders. The fire broke out shortly after 5 a.m., possibly in a stairwell of the four-story structure, and spread rapidly to the top floor. The blaze was upgraded to a 3-11 alarm, prompting additional emergency units to respond. Firefighters arrived to find flames shooting from the third and fourth floors and immediately began rescue operations.
Fire Chief Michael Fox told reporters, “They had people hanging out the windows, and one person had already jumped into the alley.†The fire was finally extinguished just before 7 a.m., marking a long and intense night for both the firefighters and the community.
