Engine 52, Medic 54 and Police On Scene

An attack on the Mohawk Ave Police Station, that started with a reported small fire has left at least 5 officers dead, 5 Fire Fighters and 2 Medics unaccounted for, and many more injured.

Units from Fire House 51, and Battalion 25 (Hinting at something there) including Engine 52 and Medic 54 responded, including Battalion 25 Chief Kenny.

Engine 52 was dispatched upon the report of the apparent oven fire, along with Medic 54. Fire Chief Charles D. Ramos arrived on scene a few minutes later. Upon arriving on scene everyone reported seeing a small amount of smoke coming out of one of the upper floor windows. "Probably just a rubbish fire, but let's keep it in check." Based on this, all Fire Fighters except Ramos and Kenny, entered the building to put out the fire. Medic Katy Walsh and Kelsey Luna grabbed their equipment and entered the building.

As Walsh entered the building Kenny called out on the radio "House 51, Battalion 25, can't hear you out here."

Chief Ramos said to Kenny "I don't like this Kenny." Within 5 seconds of him saying that, the entire building exploded, starting at the top level, and as Luna entered the building the bottom level exploded. Chief Ramos and citizens across the streets immediately got covered in glass.

As Ramos got up off the ground, he immediately began calling out on on the radio for anyone to report now. "Report" Engine 52 report! Watts, report!" Upon getting no response, he immediately radioed "Battalion 25 to main, mayday. MAYDAY, EMERGENCY! MAYDAY, EMERGENCY! Anyone from House 51, report!"

Upon the explosion, more units (not captured in the picture) responded, including Officer Knight and Officer Maquez from EPS.

Early reports say witnesses saw a teenager, being given at least $1000, by a man (no description), and then being given 3-4 items that looked like boxes.

Based on these events the boxes are assumed to have been bombs. EPS has no suspects, but have put out descriptions of the suspected person responsible for placing the bombs, and have also put out a brief description of the man seen paying the teen.

Note: In case no one has guessed, Fire House 51, Battalion 25 and "Kenny" have been taken as references from the upcoming Season 3 Premiere of Chicago Fire on Sept. 23/2014. The majority of the quoted text, starting at probably just a rubbish fire" to "Battalion 25 to main, mayday" are taken from the commercials advertising the season 3 premiere.
