Still & Box Alarm in a Chicago scrap yard, 12-6-15 (more)

This is from Steve Redick:

On Sunday, I covered a still and box alarm at Cortland and Kingsbury, an industrial area where a large scrap metal operation was on fire. A massive pile of junk cars was burning. Since this location is right by the river, Engine 2, the city's large fireboat, was dispatched to the scene. They eventually connected a 4-inch line to Engine 55, which then used a multi-purpose nozzle. There was some discussion about using the boatâ€™s larger water cannons, and the "crows nest" turret was raised on the back of the boat. However, there wasn't a clear line of sight to the fire from the river. The access around the scene was very limited, and I was shooting directly into a bright, low sun â€” it was definitely a tough environment to work in. Despite that, I managed to capture some interesting shots of the fireboat in action, as well as what looked like an air monitoring device deployed by the hazmat team. All the photos and videos from this incident are available on my website.
