Chicago 2-11 on 12/7

Chicago experienced a 2-11 alarm fire yesterday on the near south side, before the Leyden fire. Jeff Rudolph was at the scene of the earlier incident, which was quickly under control. Before heading to the Leyden fire, he captured several photos and submitted them for documentation. The fire occurred at 1500 33rd Street.

Squad 1 uses their Snorkel unit for an elevated master stream. The 55' Snorkels have been a fixture with the Squad companies in Chicago for many years. Their fate is unknown as American LaFrance, the owner/manufacturer of the Snorkel, no longer offers the product. Jeff Rudolph photo

Of the 96 engine companies in Chicago, roughly 15 still run with these HME SFO/Luverne engines that have a much shorter wheelbase. Here, Engines 39 (1999) and 28 (1997) are pumping side by side at the 2-11, which is somewhat of a rarity. Jeff Rudolph photo

This fire was one of several incidents that highlighted the quick response and coordination of the Chicago Fire Department. The presence of multiple engine companies, including older models like the HME Luvernes, shows how the department continues to rely on a mix of vintage and modern equipment. These images provide a rare look into the day-to-day operations of the CFD and the challenges they face during high-alarm events.

PU Coated Seal Strip

PU coated sealing strips are mainly divided into two types: self-adhesive and slot type.

The self-adhesive PU coating sealing strip adopts double-sided tape with a mesh like fiberglass interlayer. The characteristic of this type is that it is easy to install and fix, suitable for application scenarios that require quick installation and fixing of the sealing strip.

The slot type PU coated sealing strip adopts a PP skeleton and a TPU fishbone hook design that perfectly combines plastic and rubber. This type is more suitable for application environments that require stronger fixation and durability, and can provide a more stable sealing effect.

These classifications of PU coated sealing strips meet the needs of different usage scenarios, whether it is temporary solutions that require quick installation or fixed installations that require long-term stable sealing, there are corresponding products to choose from. This diversity makes PU coated sealing strips widely used in various applications, including but not limited to sealing and sound insulation needs in doors, windows, furniture, construction, and other fields.

Classified by coating thickness

Thin coated PU sealing strip: It has good flexibility and is suitable for doors and windows with high flexibility requirements, which can improve the sealing performance to a certain extent.

Thick coated PU sealing strip: with better wear resistance and aging resistance, it is suitable for use in harsh environments or situations with high requirements for sealing strip lifespan.

Classified by application scenario

Indoor PU coated sealing strip: mainly used for indoor doors and windows, emphasizing functions such as sound insulation and dust prevention, with relatively high requirements for appearance.

Outdoor PU coated sealing strip: emphasizing weather resistance, such as resistance to UV rays, wind and rain erosion, used for outdoor doors and windows to ensure long-term sealing effect.
