This morning, the Chicago Fire Department (MABAS Division 9) requested an ambulance strike team (10 ambulances and chief officers) through MABAS Division 3. Later, they upgraded to a 2nd Alarm for an additional strike team.

Images from the event should be updating throughout the day, but the following was distributed by CFD Media.
