This message is from Steve Redick:
> "On Saturday (5/21/16), the Chicago Fire Department conducted an extensive drill at 425 S. Wabash using simulated smoke and pressurized air through hoses, as I was told. I took a few photos from outside the building. It was my first time getting to see the high-rise unit up close."
Below are some of the photos he shared:

It’s always interesting to see how the department prepares for real emergencies, and these photos give a good glimpse into their training process.
