Chicago Fire Department False Alarm on State Street

[edmontonoilers47]

this is what i really hate the most... is when theres something going on and people have to stand around in the way watching and making up stories.

This comment isn't directed at any one person, but I will say a lot of the "general public" likes to criticize what seems to be an "excessive" response by FDs. With any fire, especially in a high rise, its better to have all your resources coming in and not need them than to need them and figure out after the fact. High rise fires are a whole different animal than a "typical" house fire. Imagine the harsh words if this were a real fire with people trapped, etc. and only a couple rigs were sent.

Thats Alot Of Fire Trucks For One Small "Fire" Lol,

They Acted Like That Was 9/11 Jeez

@thebomb491 its called a box alarm... the dispatcher doesnt clarify and it wouldnt really matter... they send enough resources to protect the whole structure not a single room... what if it got bigger and spread to other buildings and you only had one truck responding....think before you comment on how these depts operate

@kodythepimp01 I wonder if the steam caused the smoke detectors to go off. 

[SpprtAssoc]

Ok so what the hell was the tenant doing for that much steam?

[trombiki]

Why the fire truck in chicago are black and red? :) Look very nice

sorry i am from Poland

[YaMaHaRiDerR16]

@trombiki lol most firetrucks are red in the US, what color are they over there?

[Tr3vaSL3R]

@YaMaHaRiDerR16 I'm from Poland but live in the USA. I speak fluently in both languages.. Fire engines in Poland are all red, with district markings, etc.

I do live in Chicago, and I love the emergency services, they work hard to save lives and I'm proud of the way they are. Post more videos if you have any..

Thanks.

The siren at 0:50 sounds funny!!!!

[68Engine68]

@iluvbabies17 I think thats the retarded electric eq2b

[cwjones0322]

@iluvbabies17 Federal Eq2b. A lot of major cities banned mechanical sirens because they were "too loud" so this was apparently the answer.
