WORKING FIRE ON THE ROOF
MORTON EAST HIGH SCHOOL
2423 S. AUSTIN BLVD., CICERO, IL

FIRST COMPANY ON ARRIVAL REPORT FLAMES SHOWING ON THE ROOF AT 'J. STERLING MORTON HIGH SCHOOL - EAST CAMPUS.'

At least 1 handline on the fire. Truck companies opening the roof to check for extension.

*News reports that roofers were doing some I-beam welding work; described as a "small fire," but possibly up to $50,000 worth of fire damage was done

Maybe:
Engine 1 and Truck 2 (Tiller), ALS Ambul. F15 out of Sta. 1
Engine 2, Assist. Chief/Shift Cmdr. F12 from Sta. 2
Truck 1 (Twr. Ladd.) from Sta. 3
Eng. 3 from Sta. 3 c/q to one of the other houses

*Unsure if they got any mutual aid on this fire (from Berwyn?) or not
 
Usually Berwyn does a covering assignment and also maybe Stickney. This school is large, covers an entire block. the SB year of the Bears they used the auditorium for practice. Son went there, class of 2002.
