Second article about the 4-11 alarm fire that took place on Saturday at 2444 W. 21st Place in Chicago. This piece features images captured by Larry Shapiro, who arrived at the scene well after the initial responders from the first article. Larry’s photos provide a unique perspective on the ongoing situation, showing the progression of the fire and the efforts of emergency crews working to bring it under control. The images reveal the intensity of the blaze, with heavy flames concentrated on the ground floor following the collapse of the roof and upper levels. One image captures Engine 26 stationed at the corner of 21st Street and Western Avenue, while another shows Engine 28, a 1997 HME Luverne, supplying water to Engine 103 from the 2300 block of Cullerton Street. Several photos highlight the use of master streams and in-line pumping operations from Sector 3, as firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the fire. Tower Ladder 54 and Tower Ladder 39 are also featured, both positioned for potential water delivery to tackle the fire. A Snorkel unit, known as 6-6-1, was quickly dispatched to the scene and can be seen alongside Engine 35. Meanwhile, a Command Van (2-7-1) is set up on Western Avenue, serving as a central hub for coordination. A final photo shows the gas company on site, digging under the street to shut off the gas supply to the burning building. Despite their efforts, a gas-fed fire continued to burn freely in the area. Larry has shared a full gallery of these powerful images, offering a visual record of this significant incident in Chicago. His work provides a valuable look into the challenges faced by first responders during large-scale fires.

PVC Granulation Line

The PVC Granulation Line is a specialized system for producing PVC granules, which can be categorized into several types based on the material and application.
