This is a report from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:
"This afternoon, Engine Co. 62 arrived at a one-story auto repair shop that was on fire, with flames visible through the roof. Once crews entered the building, the 22nd Battalion requested a Still and Box alarm. There was a significant amount of overhaul and salvage work needed after the fire was brought under control."

More from Dan McInerney:
"Here are some pictures from the Still and Box incident at 12300 S. Michigan on Thursday afternoon. The fire occurred in a one-story vacant autobody shop. It appears to have started in the garage and spread into the cockloft before going through the roof. Squad 5 was on a still in a high-rise on 41st Street, and the 22nd Battalion needed an elevated stream, which they didn’t have available. So they boxed the scene to bring in a tower ladder. E115 and E75 each had 2.5-inch lines deployed and quickly knocked down the fire. Neither Tower 34 nor Squad 5 (who eventually arrived from 41st Street) used their platforms. There was a lot of overhaul afterward, and the 22nd Battalion requested an EFAO to notify the Building Department that this was a vacant and open structure."
