I just got back from covering the aftermath of a massive house explosion on Keating Avenue. Steve Redick managed to capture some incredible photos showing the extent of the damage as well as the emergency vehicles that were dispatched to the scene. One of the striking images shows the Collapse Rescue Unit 5-2-1, which played a critical role in responding to this incident. Another photo highlights the firefighters meticulously assessing the debris in the 6600 block of Keating, where the blast completely obliterated a home.
The situation was chaotic, and emergency services wasted no time getting到场. Engine 127 from Midway Airport arrived quickly and had their hoses deployed near Keating and Marquette. Meanwhile, Engine 134 was stationed at a hydrant on Kilpatrick and Marquette, ready to assist. Engine 64 also set up operations on Keating with multiple lines running. It was clear that this was a coordinated effort involving multiple units.
One particularly haunting image shows significant structural damage to a neighboring house, highlighting how far-reaching the explosion’s impact was. The second vehicle from the Collapse Rescue Unit, 5-2-2, was also present, coming from Engine 14’s station on Chicago Avenue.
As I scrolled through these images, it really drove home the immense challenges faced by first responders in situations like this. It’s a testament to their dedication and quick thinking under pressure. For more details, including early video footage and interviews, you can check out the story on ABC News [link here]. It’s still unclear what caused the explosion, but it’s a stark reminder of why we need such skilled professionals on standby around the clock.
