3-11 Alarm fire and EMS Plan I, 7-5-17
This morning, at approximately 1833 hours, a significant fire broke out at 1833 N. Kimball Avenue in Chicago, classified as a 3-11 alarm. According to reports from the Chicago Fire Department’s official Twitter account, the incident involved multiple exposure issues and required extensive resources. An EMS Plan 1 was activated as a precautionary measure, especially given the extreme heat conditions that have been affecting the area.
The initial report stated that while the main body of the fire appeared to be under control, the 3-11 alarm classification was necessary to ensure enough personnel were available to rotate crews due to the oppressive heat. As of the latest updates, there have been three confirmed injuries associated with the incident. One civilian was reported in critical condition and was initially taken to Saint Mary's Hospital but has since been transferred to Stroger Hospital. Additionally, two firefighters suffered heat-related illnesses and were also transported to Saint Mary's. Interestingly, two individuals reportedly refused medical attention.
Further updates emerged, revealing another firefighter suffering from heat exhaustion, who was transported to Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The situation remains active, with ongoing efforts by the Chicago Fire Department to fully extinguish the blaze and manage the challenges posed by the heat.

The combination of fire and heat-related incidents underscores the complexity of managing such large-scale events, particularly in urban environments like Chicago where high temperatures can exacerbate risks for both civilians and first responders alike.
As more details continue to surface, it is clear that this fire highlights not only the dangers faced by those involved but also the importance of coordinated emergency responses in addressing such situations effectively.
