Chicago experienced a 2-11 alarm fire yesterday on the near South Side, just before the Leyden fire. Jeff Rudolph was on the scene of this quick-moving incident and captured several photos before heading to the Leyden fire. The blaze occurred at 1500 33rd Street, and the crews responded swiftly. Here are some of the images he took.

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
These photos give a glimpse into the quick response and teamwork that went into managing the 2-11 alarm. It's always interesting to see how different units work together, especially when older models like the HME Luvernes are still in use. The presence of the Snorkel unit also highlights the evolving nature of firefighting equipment in the city.
Silicone Three Composite Strips
Silicone tri composite strips can be classified and introduced from the following aspects:
1〠Classified by structure
Three layer uniform composite strip: made of three layers of silicone material uniformly composite, with relatively balanced performance of each layer, usually having good overall stability and consistency.
Functional layered composite strip: The three layers have different specific functions, such as one layer responsible for sealing, one layer responsible for insulation, and one layer responsible for enhancing strength, etc., which can play different roles according to different needs.
2〠Classified by performance
High temperature resistant type: capable of maintaining good performance in high temperature environments, without softening or deformation, suitable for sealing applications in high-temperature equipment or environments.
Low temperature resistant type: It maintains elasticity and sealing performance under low temperature conditions and can be used for component connection and sealing in cold regions or low-temperature equipment.
Waterproof type: It has excellent waterproof performance and can effectively prevent the penetration of moisture. It is widely used in occasions that require waterproof sealing, such as building doors and windows, electronic devices, etc.
Flame retardant type: Added with flame retardant, it has a certain flame retardant effect, reduces the risk of fire, and is suitable for places with high fire prevention requirements.
3〠Classified by application field
In the field of electronic appliances: used for sealing, shock absorption, and insulation of electronic devices, protecting internal components from external environmental influences.
In the automotive field, it is applied to the sealing of doors and windows, engine compartment, and other parts of automobiles, playing a role in waterproofing, sound insulation, and shock absorption.
In the field of architecture, as a sealing material for building doors, windows, and curtain walls, it improves the energy-saving performance and comfort of buildings, and can also be used for sealing pipes and other parts.
In the industrial field, it plays a role in sealing, buffering, and connecting industrial equipment, adapting to various complex industrial environments.
