2-11 Alarm fire in Chicago, 1-8-17 (part 3)

Here's a report from Drew Gresik:

On Sunday morning, Engine 117 and the Tower Company arrived at a two-and-a-half story balloon frame structure on the West Side, where heavy fire was reported in the rear and attic. Battalion 18 quickly called for a Still & Box, and shortly after, 2-2-4 requested a 2-11. The fire spread to the D-side exposure building, but crews on scene managed to save most of it. Tower 14 and Squad 2 used elevated master streams, while multiple handlines were also deployed to control the flames.
