Another strange occurrence tonight in Chicago. Monitoring Fire Dept frequency tonight and heard 6 consecutive false alarms, all reportedly from cell phone callers, all in a 4 square mile area just west of downtown Chicago. These calls all came in within a 30 minute time frame. By my quick count that tied up 9 engines, 7 trucks, 2 rescue squads and 4 battalion chiefs. Needless to say the chiefs and the dispatcher were quite pissed as these consecutive false alarms piled up.

Thanks for the report. How far west of downtown?
