Red Chicago and their fires

If you don't live in the Chicago media market, you might not know we have an obsession with fires around here. It started with the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and continues with the High-Rise Fire in Chicago that injures 37 last night. The Chicago media pulled out all the stops last night giving wall-to-wall coverage of ...... well not much but repeating video of flames.

It was a traumatic event for all of us who live or work in a high rise, but I'm always angered by news' speculation and sensationalism, and last night didn't disappoint.
Now look for the media to drag the story out, blame the great Red Chicago Fire Fighters and then push for some billion dollar fix.

In the mean time please pray for all of those families impacted by this, and remember your local fire fighters this holiday season.
