Here's a report from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

We arrived at a scrap yard fire on Monday at 4430 W. 14th Street. Engine 103 was the first on scene, as they were on a COQ at 38’s house while 38 was responding to a fire in the 1400 block of Avers. Engine 113 provided in-line pumping to support Engine 103 and Squad 1 in knocking down the pile of scrap metal. The companies on the scene included Engines 103 and 113, Trucks 19 and 26, Squad 1, Battalion 18, and the 2-2-4 unit. It was a fast response with multiple units working together to bring the fire under control.
