2-Alarm fire in Elmhurst, 1-26-17 (part 7)

This report comes from Steve Redick:

On Thursday afternoon, an Elmhurst fire company was returning from a call when they came across a fire at a bridal shop that appeared to be closed at the time of the incident. I arrived after the second alarm had been called. Three elevated master streams were deployed, along with a unique in-line operation between two quints supplying a multi-purpose nozzle. The weather was overcast with frequent snow squalls and shifting winds, which created highly variable smoke conditions throughout the response. The fire building was completely destroyed, but as far as I know, there was little or no damage to adjacent structures.

The scene was chaotic, with multiple departments responding and working together under difficult conditions. Visibility was low due to the heavy smoke, and the cold weather added another layer of challenge for the crews. It’s clear that this was a tough call, and the efforts of all involved were critical in controlling the fire and preventing it from spreading further. As always, the bravery and coordination of our first responders made a huge difference in this situation.
