Chicago Fire Department news

Excerpts from ABC7Chicago.com:

Chicago firefighters found themselves in the path of the city’s gun violence late Tuesday night. Police were called just after 10:30 p.m. to Engine 75’s house in the 11900-block of South State Street in Chicago’s West Pullman neighborhood.

A bullet went through a side window and almost hit some of the firefighters inside. [It] went through the window, flew over a desk where firemen were sitting, hit a locker about 15 ft. away and fell on the floor of the apparatus area.

No one was hurt and none of the vehicles were damaged. Operations were not affected and Engine 75 remained in full service.

Police are investigating the incident as criminal damage to property. No one is in custody.
