History

Historical Context

The Chicago Fire Department faced a tragic crisis in 2016 when a major fire on the West Side resulted in 10 deaths and over 30 injuries. This incident underscored the need for inter-agency collaboration, as the Fire and Police Departments, along with the FBI, coordinated their response.
