Fire has burned through another partition...smoke/fire coming from at least 10 windows on the 29th floor. 5-11 Alarm with 2 special alarms...that means that 1/3rd of the entire Chicago Fire Dept. has been summoned to the fire. At least 25 trucks on the scene 18 treated for injuries/transported to hospitals. 16 are "yellow" injuries. Two firefighters have "red" injuries (serious).EMS level 3 means at least 25 ambulances have been summoned.

Man, that's ugly. Another FReeper said that the firefighters are still prepping to fight the fire. Probably sweeping for evaucatees first, then ON with the water. Seems they had better hurry.
