Chicago firefighters responding yesterday to a large fire in an industrial area employed a large fireboat in the operations, and fire photographer Steve Redick had photos from the incident.

According to Redick, the fire was located in a scrap metal yard right on the river, so the fireboat, Engine 2, was sent to the scene. The boat eventually supplied a 4-inch line to Engine 55, which then supplied a multiversal.
