**Live Updates from the Scene: Maywood’s Second Alarm Fire**
Just got word from Steve Redick about the recent second-alarm fire that broke out in an abandoned building near 5th and St. Charles. From what he observed when he arrived, the structure appeared to have been empty, but it seems like the fire department had their hands full with a serious situation.
Attached are several images captured by Steve himself. The photos show firefighters hard at work, Mawyood and Hillside fire trucks on standby, and the intense flames consuming the vacant property. There's also a shot of the Melrose Park fire truck arriving to assist, adding to the coordinated efforts of multiple departments. These visuals capture the chaos and focus of the situation, highlighting the dedication of the first responders who rushed to contain the blaze.
Meanwhile, Code Photography shared additional images of the same incident.

As someone who witnessed the unfolding drama firsthand, I can attest to how quickly the situation escalated. The combination of strong winds and the building’s structural integrity being compromised made it a challenging scenario for everyone involved. It’s inspiring to see how calmly and efficiently the firefighters handled such a dangerous situation, protecting both the surrounding area and themselves.
The community will undoubtedly feel the impact of this fire for some time, but the quick response of the emergency services played a crucial role in minimizing damage. Here’s hoping no one was injured during the incident, and that the investigation into its cause moves forward swiftly. Stay tuned for further updates as more details emerge.
