I totally agree.
Old buildings in this town never had sprinklers, nor have they been required to YET.
This is now a 5-11 alarm (that's as high as it goes in Chicago, aboit 1/2 of the on duty FF's) and an EMS plan 3. I am monitoring the MED channels and have not yet heard any communications to the area hospitals, nor has there been any reports across the fire channels or the police command channel set up.
So far communications seem really good, both police and particularly fire. It seems most personnel on the scene are being used for rescue operations. Last I heard they had 3 lines on the fire. MED channels just starting to squak. Minor injuries so far including 1 FF with a minor injury.
