From nbcchicago.com:
Three people were killed and three others were hospitalized after a mixed use apartment building at at 5222 W. North Ave in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood caught fire early Thursday morning, leaving the roof of the building and at least one stairwell collapsed.
According to the Chicago Fire Department, five of those injured had to be rescued by firefighters, and the stairwell between the second and third floor had completely burned away. The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately clear and remained under investigation.
This from Larry Shapiro;
While driving through western/central New York state in the town of Warsaw, I stopped a the firehouse since the doors were open. Several of the apparatus had been purchased used including this 1993 E-ONE Hurricane tower ladder from Addison.
They also have a Spartan / McGinley pumper formerly from Lebanon, IN.

Excerpts from cwbchicago.com:
Cops arrested a man on April 1 after he allegedly stole a Chicago Fire Department battalion chief’s fully-marked SUV from Engine 98’s house at 202 East Chicago Avenue around 8:20 a.m. and went on a joyride.
The SUV’s GPS began pinging on the North Side where the battalion chief located it parked in the 1400 block of West Lunt, with 49-year-old Aaron Johnson behind the wheel. Johnson turned off the vehicle and surrendered the keys when the chief requested them. Officers arrived shortly after and confronted Johnson, who allegedly told them he was “having fun.”
He was arrested but went home from the police station that evening with instructions to appear in court a week later. He was recently re-arrested on an active warrant issued after he failed to show up for that court date.
