Fire photographer Steve Redick offered a few photos of Chicago fire crews working to extinguish a recent house fire at 5501 Pennsacola.

Firefighters operated in rather cold conditions and had to contend with hoarder conditions in the basement of this bungalow, which caused access problems and forced crews to perform an exterior attack for a time.
