Excerpts from science.house.gov:
Today, the U.S. Senate passed S.870, the Fire Grants and Safety Act of 2023, sending it to President Biden to be signed into law.
S.870 incorporates language from H.R. 4090, the Fire Grants and Safety Act of 2023, introduced by Science Committee member Tom Kean (R-NJ). The bill will support and advance firefighter and emergency services across the nation, providing a five-year reauthorization for the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) Program, and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant (SAFER) Program.
Excerpts from wgntv.com:
Chicago firefighters battled a 4-11 Alarm fire that began around 6 p.m. in the city’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. All people inside the structure were evacuated before firefighters arrived, with all being accounted for once CFD got the fire under control.
No injuries have been reported at this time.
CFD also said the structure, in the 2800 block of West Grand Avenue, contained a construction office complex, an active body shop, a landscaping company, and a car battery operation along with a number of other small businesses, and was a complete loss as a result of the fire.
Approximately 200 firefighters and 40 pieces of equipment responded to the fire Wednesday evening, a number of which were also at the scene of the West Town commercial fire late into Tuesday evening this week.
The Humboldt Park fire was also just a little more than a mile from Tuesday’s fire at a commercial pallet company fire in West Town.

Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
A West Town pallet company was still smoldering Wednesday afternoon, nearly 24 hours after it was destroyed in a massive fire. Strong morning winds reignited flames.
Stacks of pallets burned to the ground in the 2000-block of West Hubbard Street Tuesday evening. Three hundred firefighters battled the fire for hours.
The blaze could be seen for miles. Firefighters monitored hot spots overnight before ultimately reopening West Hubbard just before 7 a.m. Wednesday.
The fire burned at Corporate Pallet Inc., a family-owned business serving Chicago since 1978. Fire officials said nearly 20 employees were on site at the time of the fire but all made it out safely.
Two firefighters were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.
