What a great station! My building had a fire (thankfully turned out to be small) recently. The…read morecrew and multiple other departments came here FAST! It was like an army in their full "gear" descending on the lobby and into the building. They were prepared and had it been worse, we would all have been saved! I also dealt with 4 paramedics (not sure if from this station particularly)- 2 treated me in lobby, 2 took me in an ambulance to local hospital. All were not only fast, quick workers and efficient but so kind and caring and helpful. I am so grateful. Count on this team for sure!

I stopped by the station with my class of 13 two-year-olds today, and the kids got to see a fire engine and deliver a thank-you poster that they made.

a few years ago when I rented the 2nd flr apt of a 2-flat (a half mile or so from this CFD station)…read morei returned from work on a cold december day to find my carbon monoxide alarm blaring. i bought myself a very good model (a Holmes), runs on wall outlet power, and it had never emitted the slightest peep for nearly 5 yrs continuous running. even though its alarm sounded I didn't smell a thing, nor did anything look strange in or around my apt. I called 911 about it, the operator didn't waste time, and the fire trucks arrived in two minutes tops. all the firemen were friendly, they confirmed my CO condition, and went over the whole building. the people on the 1st flr apparently had disconnected their own alarm since they were unaware. the firemen told me both what they were doing and why too. this instilled confidence and in the end they discovered the source was a malfunctioning gas furnace down in the basement--not in the apartments! windows were opened to clear the CO accumulation and the bad furnace shut-down (until repair) i mention this primarily to compliment the CFD on a quick and thorough rescue effort (just think if any of us had gone to sleep there that night if the call wasn't made, a role I was glad to've played). also it's obvious from all this how insidious CO gas is--it traveled upwards unnoticed and wasn't detected until 2 floors up (the 2 apts did NOT share a common heating unit). the landlord had it repaired next day

The apocalyptic storm of 8/4/08 left us a present in the form of a GIANT hunk of tree that filled…read moreour entire front yard, blocking the path from the gate to the stairs...WHEEEE! Considering the mayhem I heard the streets of Humboldt Park to be - several whole trees felled onto main thoroughfares, trees embedded in people's roofs, etc. - I fully expected it would probably be at least a couple days before they could get to our relatively non-treacherous inconvenience. But I went ahead and called first thing in the morning anyway...squeaky wheels and all that. The gentleman I spoke to at this office was incredibly nice, explaining that while his guys have a lot on their plates today, he'd drive by, assess the damage and see what could be done. 1pm rolls around and 3 guys in a cherry picker/woodchipper vehicle show up and get down to business with an efficiency I don't think I have EVER seen from city workers in my 35 years in Chicago. No guy sitting in the truck while others do the work, no hemming and hawing, they just knocked it out pure TCB/PDQ-style. I was impressed that they not only removed our little present, but trimmed back other potentially threatening branches form the tree. But it was when one guy came into our yard to rake up errant branches that my jaw dropped in my lap! And THEN he came through with a leaf-blower and cleaned up our yard, the sidewalk and the midway!!! My husband took a few Gatorades out to them and tried to offer them a little "lunch money" for their efforts "We can't take that sir. The Gatorades are fine". Um...this IS Chicago, right? I honestly don't believe any professional tree-trimming service we could have spent big $$$ to hire would have done such an amazing job. I have not come to expect much from city workers, but these are the guys that make the moniker "Chicago Works!" a truism in a way I've never seen before.

Jose was very kind in helping me out in my visit and assisted me in purchasing there amazing T-shirt's for my family. These were the 3 shirts that I bought to support that fire station wish they had more of the these shirts cause they are a hit in my opinion especially the River North style and my personal was Wile E Coyote I'm willing to purchase them again even if I'm already back home in Los Angeles. Jose can you make this happen cause I would love to still get more if possible. The way you see the pictures that's the order of the patch that's in the front of each T-shirts.

Hi, Friendly Yelpers:…read more These people need to be appreciated more! I hear sirens going by on a daily basis from the Clark station, and see no one has given them any kind of review on how good they are, which is what they deserve. I want to give a high recommendation to Jeannie and Emily who helped us out recently. They were friendly, professional, on-the-ball, and more particularly straightforward. I appreciated their lack of drama and overall respect. Thank you so much for being there, Maureen

It was quiet on that Sunday morning, which at the very least I was thankful for. It took about 15 minutes to file the report but it took longer than that because it was a shift change and they don't pay attention to you then. At least they have some plants that could keep me calm, less annoyed.
