A 3-11 alarm fire occurred this morning at 1833 N. Kimball Avenue in Chicago on July 5, 2017. The incident was reported around 18:33 and involved multiple challenges, including potential exposures and a high heat index that impacted operations.
According to updates from the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) via Twitter, the 3-11 alarm was called due to the need for additional personnel to manage the situation effectively, especially given the extreme heat. An EMS Plan 1 was also activated as a precautionary measure. The main fire was eventually brought under control, but the conditions were tough for both firefighters and civilians.
As the situation developed, there were reports of injuries. One civilian was in critical condition and was initially taken to Saint Mary’s Hospital, but later transferred to Stroger Hospital. Two firefighters were also hospitalized due to heat-related issues—one at Saint Mary’s and another at Illinois Masonic Medical Center. There were also two individuals who refused medical transport.
The incident took place in the 1800 block of North Kimball, and several photos were released by the CFD media team showing the ongoing efforts at the scene. These images provide a visual account of the intense firefighting work being carried out under difficult conditions.
The event highlights the challenges faced by emergency responders during extreme weather, and the importance of proper safety protocols and resource allocation in such situations. As more details emerge, further updates are expected from the Chicago Fire Department.
