Chicago Still & Box Alarm fire, 2-14-14 (more)

This from Dan Shevlin:

The Fire Alarm Office received one call from a cell phone reporting a building on fire at 33rd Str & Keeler.  A still was sent to this location.  Eng99 found nothing.  As it turns out the Cicero Fire Department was receiving the rest of the calls for 33rd Str & Kostner for a trucking company on fire.  Cicero Fire Dispatch contacted us on IFERN & the location was corrected.
