Car fire in West Chicago

    This is from John Tulipano:

    Not much going on lately, so when I heard the call for an engine at North Avenue and Route 59, I decided to take a ride. I arrived just in time to see West Chicago Engine 5 making a U-turn to head back in the westbound lanes of North Avenue.

    I’ve been covering local emergencies for years, and it’s always interesting to see how quickly things can escalate. This call wasn’t anything major, but it was still good to get out there and capture the action. The crew was professional, focused, and ready to go. It's always a pleasure to work with them. These photos give a real sense of what happened that day, and I’m glad I was able to be there to document it. If you’re ever in the area and hear sirens, it’s usually worth keeping an eye on — you never know what might happen next.
