  • Practice and Policies Related to Discrimination and Sexual
    APRIL 2021 AUDIT OF POLICIES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO DISCRIMINATION AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT WITHIN THE CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT CITY OF CHICAGO OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL JOSEPH M. FERGUSON INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR THE CITY OF CHICAGO CITY OF CHICAGO OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL 740 NORTH SEDGWICK STREET, SUITE 200 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60654 JOSEPH M. FERGUSON TELEPHONE: (773) 478-7799 INSPECTOR GENERAL FAX: (773) 478-3949 APRIL 14, 2021 TO THE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, CITY CLERK, CITY TREASURER, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO: The City of Chicago Office of Inspector General (OIG) has completed an audit assessing the Chicago Fire Department’s (CFD) policies and practices related to discrimination and sexual harassment. The Department—which is 90% male and 66% White—has been a defendant in multiple discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits. This history raises concerns about whether its internal culture, which typically lags behind changes to laws and policies, negatively affects the experience of members who are not among its prevailing demographics. The Department is not alone in facing these issues; nationwide, fire department demographics are relatively homogenous, and departments share historical cultural challenges related to discrimination and sexual harassment. We examined CFD’s discrimination and sexual harassment policies and complaint procedures, and aspects of their implementation. We also conducted a survey of the Department, to which 285 employees, or 6% of CFD’s roughly 5,000-person workforce, responded. While their responses may not represent the views of all CFD employees, high rates of respondents reported experiencing on-the-job discrimination and/or sexual harassment. Survey respondents also provided ideas for how CFD could better address these issues.

  • Career Lieutenant Killed in Building Collapse While Fighting Row House Fire—Pennsylvania
    2018 03 July 30, 2020 Career Lieutenant Killed in Building Collapse While Fighting Row House Fire—Pennsylvania Executive Summary On January 6, 2018, a 42-year-old career Lieutenant (Engine-45 officer) was killed in a structural collapse while fighting a fire in an 1800’s era row house. Firefighters arrived to find a two-story row house heavily involved in fire. Fire crews faced limited street access to the fire dwelling (snow covered narrow road and civilian parking), excessive clutter in the building, extreme cold, multiple inoperable fire hydrants and a frozen handline (nozzle). The first arriving crews operating only off tank water were able to locate and remove a civilian victim from the first floor and initially knock down the fire on the first floor. Interruptions in water supply hampered fire-fighting efforts and forced a change in strategy until a The Lieutenant was killed in a V-shape collapse reliable supply was established. while fighting a row house fire.

  • High-Rise Fire Safety: Problems & Solutions
    High-Rise Fire Safety: Problems & Solutions a Report by The Chicago High-Rise Safety Commission February 1999 HIGH-RISE FIRE SAFETY: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS ARTICLE I. INTRODUCTION On December 14, 1996, a group of public officials met to announce the formation of the Chicago High-Rise safety Commission (the “Commission”) to examine and propose fire safety solutions in Chicago high-rises. The Commission was responding to such tragedies as the 1996 high-rise apartment fire at 3555 S. Cottage Grove Avenue, which killed four and injured 50. During its deliberations, the Commission reviewed the status of high-rise fire safety and considered proposals to improve current conditions. Under the City of Chicago Municipal Code, high-rise buildings constructed after 1975 enjoy a high level of protection, since they must either be compartmented or sprinklered. Compartmentation blocks or slows the spread of a fire, while sprinklers extinguished it. Because sprinklers are more effective and less costly than compartmentation, building owners have overwhelmingly opted for sprinklers since 1975. Unfortunately, the Municipal Code does not require high-rise buildings constructed before 1975 to be sprinklered or compartmented, and therefore, a fire in one of these buildings is far more likely to result in casualties and property damage than one in a sprinklered building. The Commission has discovered that the rate of fire deaths in Chicago’s high-rise buildings is approximately 3.5 times greater than the national average. Concluding that automatic sprinkler systems offer the optimum level of fire safety, the Commission proposes that the Chicago City Council, as well as Cook County, the State of Illinois, and the federal government, address this problem by encouraging sprinkler retrofitting in high-rise buildings (buildings at least 80 feet tall) through various federal, state and local incentives to ease the financial burden of retrofitting.
