Fire Rescue
Some say that just showing up to work these days counts as heroic, and cops still go above and beyond:
A Chicago police officer suffered smoke inhalation while helping a man to safety early Wednesday in a Humboldt Park house fire.
Officers were on patrol about 2:50 a.m. when they noticed a residential fire in the 700 block of North Spaulding Avenue, Chicago police said.
One officer helped a man to safety while two other occupants escaped the building unharmed, police said. The officer was taken to an area hospital in good condition as a precaution for possible smoke inhalation.
Well done and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Speaking of fires, rumors on the north side continue to swirl that a couple of recent fires, including one in which an elderly man died, were caused by the residents barbecuing indoors and/or on porches. Anyone have any further info on this?
There's never a firefighter around when you need one…
Excellent.
Patrolling. Observing. Rescuing. Gee, hope s/he/they didn't violate a policy, like "pursuit" of saving a life. Salute to those involved.
Bathtub bbq is the best
God Bless CPD officers. I miss Spank Daddy.

In Rosemont IL, coppers rotate to Fire-eaters & back every 2 years. They keep their Bang Bangs while using their Fire Can Squirt Guns. The Citizens get 2 Trained Super Heros in one package. Coppers are always ahead of the Big Red Truck to most West side & Auburn Gresham fires. Office of the DOGE report to City of Chicago.

Rosemont has a bunch of goofballs working there. They rarely see any fires and don’t do any police work. They sure love their gear though if you know what I mean

From earlier thread
See SCC Blog posters are sorta clairvoyant or have "Police Powers"?
Aaaaaannd they parked their squad in the middle of the street in front of the fire building...only because there was already a car parked in front of the hydrant....
