Steve Redick captured some powerful images of yesterday's devastating house explosion on Keating Street, providing a glimpse into the intense response effort that unfolded. His photos showcase several of the apparatus that were on the scene, including key units like Collapse Rescue 5-2-1 and Engine 127 from Midway Airport. The first unit on location, Engine 127, had hoses deployed at Keating and Marquette, quickly responding to the chaos.
Another striking image shows Engine 64 positioned on Keating with multiple lines ready for action. Meanwhile, Engine 134 can be seen operating at Kilpatrick and Marquette, ensuring adequate water pressure to combat the inferno. One of the most compelling shots highlights the extensive damage sustained by a neighboring home, emphasizing the sheer force of the explosion. Even the Collapse Rescue Unit 5-2-2 arrived in full force, with its second component dispatched from Engine 14’s station on Chicago Avenue.
These visuals paint a vivid picture of the firefighters' efforts to assess and mitigate the aftermath. Adjacent structures bore the brunt of the blast, as evidenced by another photo capturing the destruction in the 6600 block of Keating. Steve Redick’s documentation serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers faced by first responders and the community during such incidents.
For those seeking more context, ABC News has already published a report featuring early video footage and interviews with witnesses. As the investigation continues, these images remind us of both the resilience of the firefighters and the importance of thorough safety measures to prevent future tragedies.
