On December 22nd, 2018, Chicago faced its second significant fire alarm incident rated at 2-11. The first had already occurred earlier in the day, but it was the second blaze that really captured attention when it broke out at 6417 N Ravenswood Avenue. This dramatic event unfolded in the afternoon, catching many residents by surprise.
According to reports from Eric Haak, this fire erupted in a one-story commercial building, specifically affecting the rear portion which measured about 75 feet by 75 feet. This section of the property featured a truss roof, making the situation particularly challenging for firefighters. As the flames intensified, they eventually penetrated the roof, escalating the danger significantly.
In response to the crisis, the Chicago Fire Department deployed Tower Ladder 23 and the newly introduced Tower Ladder 21 to manage the situation. These resources played a crucial role in containing and ultimately extinguishing the blaze, showcasing the department's capability and preparedness even in such demanding circumstances.
Attached are several images captured by Eric Haak, providing an up-close look at the aftermath and the heroic efforts of the firefighters. One photo highlights Engine 56, standing ready amidst the chaos, while another captures Deputy Fire Commissioner Tim Sampey in action. There are also shots of the fire burning through the warehouse’s truss-designed roof, vividly illustrating the intensity of the inferno. Additional images show firefighters battling the flames head-on, utilizing their equipment effectively, as well as close-ups of Tower Ladder 23 and Tower Ladder 21 in operation. A final picture captures a firefighter pulling a 2 1/2-inch hose line, demonstrating the practical measures taken during the firefighting process.
This incident underscores the dedication and skill of the Chicago Fire Department personnel who worked tirelessly to protect lives and property. It serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining robust emergency services and the courage required to face such emergencies.
Wear Resistant Steel Plate
Wear-resisting Steel Plate is composed of low Carbon Steel Plate and alloy wear-resisting layer. When working, the matrix provides comprehensive properties such as strength, toughness and plasticity of resisting external forces, and the alloy wear-resistant layer provides wear-resistant properties that meet the requirements of specified working conditions.
Wear-resistant steel with high wear resistance and good impact performance, capable of cutting, bending, welding, etc., can be taken welding, plug welding, bolting and other ways to connect with other structures, with the province when in the course of the repair site , convenient, widely used in metallurgy, coal, cement, electricity, glass, mining, building materials, bricks and other industries, compared with other materials. Wear resistant steels are developed for applications where high wear resistant performance is required, such as dumper, garbage vehicle, concrete mixer truck, industrial air fan, hopper, crusher, machinery for coal, grain, cement, grab bucket, etc.
