Apartment fire in Wheeling 11-10-11

On a Thursday morning, the Wheeling Fire Department received an urgent call about a smoke odor detected in one of the units within a three-unit townhouse located on Kingswood Lane. Responding swiftly, firefighters arrived at 303 Kingswood Lane to discover a small fire originating in the wall of the affected unit. It appeared that workers had been sweating pipes in the area, which inadvertently sparked the fire. Unfortunately, the flames began spreading upwards along the wall into the neighboring unit. As the situation escalated, the Wheeling tower ladder was deployed to the roof, prompting the alarm to be upgraded to a Code 4 for an active fire response. In support of the Wheeling teams, Buffalo Grove Tower 25, Northbrook Engine 10, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Ambulance 52 were dispatched to the scene. Firefighters moved quickly, containing the fire before it could spread further. Wheeling Tower 42 ascended to the roof in the 'A' sector to ventilate effectively, while Buffalo Grove Tower 25 accessed the roof from the 'B-C' corner on the adjacent street. Attached are several images capturing the scene. In the first photograph, Buffalo Grove Tower 25 is seen positioned at the B-C corner of the building, demonstrating the coordinated effort between departments. The second image shows Wheeling Engine 42, operating as Engine 24, backing down the court after the tower reached the southern end of the structure. The third photo highlights Wheeling Tower 42's efforts to place a team on the roof for ventilation purposes. The fourth image captures the truck company clearing attic vents and creating a ventilation hole, essential steps in managing the fire’s progression. The final picture illustrates Engine 42 with two water lines actively engaged inside the building, showcasing the rapid response and containment strategy employed by the firefighters.

Marine Steel Plate

Due to the harsh working environment of the ship, the hull shell is subject to chemical corrosion of seawater, electrochemical corrosion and corrosion of marine organisms and microorganisms; the hull is subjected to large wind and wave impacts and alternating loads; the shape of the ship is complicated by processing methods, etc. Steel for hull structure is strictly required. First of all, good toughness is the most critical requirement. In addition, high strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, forming properties and surface quality are required.

Shipbuilding Steels Our hot rolled shipbuilding steel is produced in accordance with the relevant Classification Society, examples of which include Lloyds Register and Det Norske Veritas.

Our steel products include steel shipbuilding plate, fabricated steel sections and floor plate for decking. We can also supply bulb flats for plate stiffening, structural steel angles and inverted angles.

Our plates are supplied under the ASTM/ASME specification (ASTM A131 / ASME SA 131) which is the standard specification for Structural Steel for Ships. We offer higher strength shipbuilding steels as standard .High strength steels offer significant cost advantages by reducing the weight of the structure in comparison to the steel used.

The plates are suitable for use in the construction of container ships and large cargo freighters as well as commercial shipping lines such as luxury cruise ships and ferries. Supply options include heavy plates, surface treated plates and pre-fabricated sections. In most cases, the steel can also be supplied as hot rolled coils or cut into lengths (sheets).

These high yield materials are commonly used in the construction of hulls and superstructures for large shipping vessels. The grades are exclusively for shipbuilding use as set out in the standard.
