On April 29, 2013, the Chicago Fire Department's Englewood Fire Alarm Office received a call about a fire at a car wash. Engine 47 was the first to arrive and reported a large one-story commercial building with a bow-string truss roof that was fully engulfed in flames. A Still & Box alarm was immediately requested by Engine 47. When the 18th Battalion arrived, they assessed the situation and ordered a defensive operation due to the unstable truss roof and heavy fire conditions. The 18th Battalion then escalated the alarm to a 2-11. Tower Ladder 34, Tower Ladder 37, and Squad 5 were deployed for aerial operations.
Despite efforts, the fire remained intense, prompting the 2-1-11 (Assistant Deputy Fire Commissioner) to request a 3-11 alarm. For approximately two hours, all units operated in a defensive mode until the alarm was finally struck out by the 2-1-5 (Deputy Fire Commissioner).
Full Still Alarm companies included Engines 47 and 60, Tower Ladder 37, Truck 15, Squad 5, Command Van 2-7-4, and both the 17th and 18th Battalions. Box Alarm companies consisted of Engines 63 and 45, Truck 51, along with the 21st and 23rd Battalions. The 2-11 Alarm brought in Engines 54, 72, 84, Truck 16, Tower Ladder 34, Engine 28 with Light Wagon 5, the 15th and 20th Battalions, and 6-4-4. The 3-11 Alarm added Engines 39, 123, 116, 50, and 49, as well as 5-7-1.
The incident was captured by Dennis Walus, who documented the scene with several powerful images.
