Still & Box Alarm Fire in Chicago, 12-21-24

From Chi-Town Fire Photos:

This is from a fire on 12/21/24. The MFAO gave a working fire response to the corner of Homan and Congress, right at sunrise. Engine Co. 44 arrived to find heavy fire showing from a vacant grey stone at 3336 W Congress Parkway. Companies initially made an aggressive interior attack, but could not make it much past the stairs. Battalion 18 arrived on scene, pulled everyone out, went defensive, and pulled a Box. Engine 107 was the second engine and led out down a gangway to the rear and had an exposure line flowing on the D side. Engine 95 was the third engine, and they led out down the alley to the rear, and had a 2.5″ flowing on the B side exposure. Tower 5 was the Box truck, and was put to work on arrival.

Chicago Fire Department news

Excerpts from cwbchicago.com:

An on-duty Chicago Fire Department ambulance crew was robbed while responding to a call in Auburn Gresham overnight. The paramedics managed to overpower the robber and hold him until police arrived.

Ambulance 24 responded to a call about a person with respiratory problems in the 7900 block of South Throop around 1:45 a.m. After they arrived, a man approached the ambulance team, implied he had a weapon, and took cash from the victims, according to CPD.

The fire department team overpowered the robber and quickly jumped on the radio to declare a “10-1” emergency, bringing extra fire department and police resources to the scene. Here’s what it sounded like on the fire department’s radio network:

Police took the robber into custody. CPD said the ambulance crew suffered minor injuries during the altercation. No weapon was found, but police did recover some of the victims’ money.
