Chicago Fire Department Emergency Preparedness

Here is an article from JEMS about emergency preparedness in the Chicago Fire Department. Chief Trotter was the brand-new Chief in Chicago a couple of years ago when I went to the High-Rise Firefighting Symposium there. He seemed like a slick/smooth politician type.

I think he had been hired as a remedial measure after a couple of disasterous high-rise fires (one was the Lasalle Street fire) that damaged that department's reputation.
