From a reader:
Hi there, I’m currently working on an assignment about investigating arson in Chicago and was wondering if you have any resources for Chicago FD call statistics for the year 2017. Anything is incredibly appreciated!
Thank you,Sincerely,Alexander Harlan

I agree with you… I put in a FOIA request in 2016 for the run totals and was told they couldn’t fulfill that request. it took 2 request to get an updated listing of CFD vehicles from fleet management as well

True, but if it is anything truly official, the CFD has the data. And in any official capacity, it should come from the source, not a buff site

the issue with that is most of the buffs online have the info…. only way I’ve seen any run daat the last 3 years was from guys on the job sharing screenshots via FB

Alexander, I would suggest contacting the CFD direct, not a fire buff website.
