Fire photographer Tim Olk shared some recent photos of Chicago firefighters working on the fireground.

Companies responded to a still alarm at 1240 E 83rd Street and reported smoke on arrival. The Englewood Fire Alarm Office filled out a full still alarm for the working fire.

Battalion 23 arrived and gave a size-up of a two-story ordinary constructed building with fire on the second floor. Crews used two lines on the fire, one on the first floor and one on the second, with a truck opening the roof. Companies adopted a defesnive posture because of heavy fire through the roof and out the second floor.

There were no reported injuries.
