Got back to my room, and I see fire...
So I was laying in my bed ready to crash after a long day at work, and I hear the engine/truck companies up the street singing. Not a big deal, normally I'll see as they typically are headed right around my dorm, which is very close to all of our frat/sor houses. But I was too tired, so I said fuck it. Anyways, 2 minutes later, I hear more. Huh, that's odd, those companies are almost 6 minutes away. So I get up, look out my window, and HOLY SHIT. The house across the street is fully involved.
So I grab my camera, take a few pictures, then go back downstairs. I talk to a coworker of mine (A night cadet) doing crowd control with the police, and I listen in. It is a 3 alarm working structure fire, and neighboring departments have been mobilized for "mop up," which is a term for them relocating midway between both cities, and taking the calls that the companies at the fire can't take. So basically, of our 4 stations, every engine/truck was at the scene, so neighboring departments cover the other calls.
On to the pics (Not in any specific order), if you bitch about them loading, get a better job and get DSL. The first video will be up tomorrow, the next in a few days.

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
’cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don’t you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don’t get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin’,
Another little baby child is born

Here is the first video when the house wasn't fully involved yet:

I'll have the other one up in the next few days, and it's pretty sweet.

I finally got the good video up. It is a bit longer, and is when the upper level of the house goes fully involved. Pretty sweet I thought :thumbleft:
