At 1950 hours on Saturday, April 27th, the McCook Fire Department was called to a reported explosion at a metal grinding facility located at 4828 S. Lawndale. First-arriving units confirmed smoke coming from the A and D sides of the building at 1954 hours and upgraded the response to a full-blown fire. The blaze was contained in the 125 x 325-foot single-story rear section of the complex, which included several additions that were not affected. By 2012 hours, command had brought in MABAS Division 10 Box #14-01 after crews reported heavy smoke inside the structure.
Several aerial ladder trucks were deployed to tackle the slow-burning fire, which had melted through parts of the fiberglass roof. Riverside Truck 1629 operated from the northeast corner of the building, within the fenced-in lot. Their aerial can be seen raised in several of the photos. Brookfield Truck 419 was stationed at the southeast corner, set up along Lawndale Street. Bedford Park Truck 705 worked from the south side of the building, directing a stream inside. Pleasantview Truck 1519 used a master stream from the northwest corner, positioned on Clyde Terrace. Tri-State Truck 529 was stationed on the Joliet Road side but did not raise their aerial. Lyons Squad 1316 was active on the east side, where most of the firefighting took place. McCook Engine 1416 was also on scene, supplying water to Riverside’s truck as well as multiple handlines.
The images provided were captured approximately one hour into the incident, showing the scale and intensity of the operation. It was a coordinated effort involving multiple departments, each playing a critical role in containing the fire and ensuring safety for everyone involved.
