Karl Klotz was on the scene of a house fire in Country Club Hills yesterday at 4440 W. 183rd Street, where temperatures were dangerously low—minus 20 degrees, including wind chill. He arrived before Dennis McGuire, Jr., who later shared some photos that were posted online. Karl captured a powerful set of images from the event and has a full gallery available for viewing.
The first photo shows thick smoke pouring from the roof as firefighters work to control the blaze inside the home. Karl was there early, capturing the intensity of the situation. Another image highlights Engine 1120, the first suppression unit to arrive on the scene, showing the quick response by the Country Club Hills Fire Department.
As the fire was brought under control, crews worked to overhaul the structure, searching for any remaining hot spots. One photo shows firefighters removing exterior materials like soffits, siding, and insulation to ensure the fire was fully extinguished. A Pierce Lance 105' quint from Hazel Crest, Truck 1220, was also on site, providing aerial support.
Additional units, including Engine 1130 and a 2004 Ford/Road Rescue ambulance from Oak Forest, were seen on the scene, though no injuries were reported. The final image gives an overview of the operation, with multiple fire units parked along 183rd Street, highlighting the coordinated effort between different departments.
Karl's photos provide a compelling visual record of the incident, showcasing both the danger and the professionalism of the responding crews. His work is a valuable contribution to the coverage of this event.
