We think @ChicagosMayor should do something about the CFD Station at 12701 South Doty.
It houses Engine 80, Truck 61, and Amb. 51.
The conditions are utterly deplorable.
According to our source, the station floods when it rains, but it isn't merely groundwater; it's sewage backup.
Despite appeals to correct this quagmire, the city has declined to complete necessary repairs.
Over July Fourth, the firehouse flooded again, multiple times, forcing CFD personnel to carry out clean up without the benefit of any sanitary material.
On Friday, flooding began at 9 p.m., but plumbers only arrived after 1 a.m.
We're told human waste floated on the apparatus floor, bunk room, and officers' quarters.
Imagine if the mayor's office or Annette Nance-Holt's office flooded. The repairs would be immediate and lasting.
This is a safety and health issue. Shouldn't Chicago do something about this revolting situation?
We certainly think so.

Props to this guy. He killed us.
BREAKING: A group of 32 armed Venezualans took over an apartment building in Chicago tonight. Here’s the audio of the 911 dispatch call.
First they did this in Aurora, CO and now Chicago? Which city will be next?
This invasion happened on Kamala’s watch.

NEW: Chicago's population just fell to its lowest point since 1920.

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
'Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Like almost everyone who does not comply with orders to put down a gun, this man did not get shot by #Chicago police over his "fake ass gun."
Prosecutors did, however, drop all charges a month later.
And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
Oh, I wave goodbye to the end of beginning

Not guilty!
The woman who stole a Chicago police officer's squad car and then reversed, nearly killing him, was found not guilty by reason of insanity yesterday.
While the case was pending, the city hired her to be an accountant.

It took over FOUR HOURS for Chicago police to respond to a home invasion.
The victim of the invasion requested to speak to a supervisor but was told to call her local politician and ask for funding for more cops…

11th district commander gets testy with dispatcher:
Chicago/Ridgeway
A unit came over the radio and said someone was hit by a car.
About a minute, later a unit who doesn't identify themselves says "How about giving her some medical attention, hello?"
The dispatcher snaps back "Uh, what are you doing? You can go help."
The unit then says "How about I'm 1100 and I'm watching it from the pods, thank you."
"Ok fire is en route. We have units on scene and fire is en route. So if this is 1100, identify yourself we'll let them know you're watching."
The unit then says "Yeah, they know I'm watching. They know I'm always watching."
"Ok thanks" says the dispatcher.
1100 is the commander of the 11th district, Davina Ward.
