This message is from Brian Murphy:
> "These photos capture a single-family house fire on the west side of Villa Park, taken during a very cold and snowy winter afternoon in the early to mid-1990s. At the time, units from Villa Park (including call-backs), Elmhurst, Lombard, and Addison were either on scene or en route. I'm not entirely sure if it was a General Alarm or a First-Level MABAS Box."
> "All the photos were taken using a 35mm pocket camera—no digital cameras or smartphones back then! It's interesting to look back and see how things used to be. I hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane!"
> "I'll send more as I have time. Let me know if you'd like to see more from that era."
> "Best regards,
> Brian Murphy"

Oil Refined Description Of Thermal Oil
It's typically utilized in systems where high temperatures are required, but direct use of water or steam isn't feasible or efficient.
Thermal oil is used in concentrated solar power plants to transfer the heat absorbed by mirrors or lenses to a Heat Transfer Fluid which then drives a turbine to generate electricity.The key advantage of using thermal oil is its ability to withstand high temperatures without breaking down, making it an ideal medium for transferring heat in these applications.
It can be recycled and reused, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution in many scenarios.
