Dan McInerney captured the Still and Box Alarm incident that occurred yesterday on Sheridan Road and shared several photos from the scene, along with his detailed observations:

At approximately 2:45 PM on Friday, the 9th Battalion responded to a still alarm at 5757 N. Sheridan, which was later corrected to 5747 N. Sheridan. The Fire Alarm Officer (FAO) initially classified it as a working fire but then upgraded it to a still in a high-rise building. As the unit approached the corner of Sheridan from Hollywood, they requested a still and box alarm. Upon arrival, they found heavy fire and smoke coming from the third floor of a three-story townhome measuring 75 by 125 feet. The structure was directly adjacent to a 30-story high-rise to the south. Engine 70 quickly deployed their leader line and made rapid progress in controlling the fire, while Truck 47 positioned itself from a parking lot to the south and laddered the building. A still in the high-rise response was held in place to prevent any impact on the stairwells and to avoid the high-rise becoming an exposure. The staging area was set up at Hollywood and Sheridan, which is the northern entrance to Lake Shore Drive (LSD), causing significant traffic congestion on a Friday afternoon, especially as the air show was wrapping up.
