Asst. Deputy Commissioner-Operations Bob Hoff (l), and Commissioner Ray Orozco.
The Stokes basket full of gear is a RIT pack. That is Rapid Intervention Team. At every fire in Chicago, at least four working firemen stand outside the fire, waiting to go in if a fireman goes down.

Alan Jacobs > Sun Times Fire 12/29/04
2nd District Chief Ray Orozco just after he came out of the building at the extre-alarm in the old Sun Times building on Wabash and the river. This was an electrical wiring fire in which the gases were somewhat less than healthy. He took a lot of toxic smoke.
Ray Orozco was subsequently promoted to Assistant Deputy Commissioner Operations, and then to CFD Commissioner.

Alan Jacobs > Still and Box, 7037 Parnell, Chicago
This is a good demonstration of the fire and subsequent heat inside and why a building has to be vented that is, opened in various places to allow heat to escape.

Alan Jacobs > The fire spreads
Standing in front of a structure and moving clockwise, sides are identified as sectors, 1, 2, 3, 4. This facilitates radio communication.
Here, at a Still and Box, 6620 S. Aberdeen on 12/17/05, the fire is leaping out the window in sector 2 to the one next-door, identifed as the exposure building.
