Hats off to all Chicago FD EMT:s Paramedics and firefighters. You guys are doing an incredible - and sometimes impossible - job - in saving the residents and visitors to the great city of Chicago. I have distant relatives in Chicago. That is why Chicago is my City. Greetings and all support from Sweden, Europe!

Emergency services have become too expensive. No one wants the jobs because they pay poorly and require too much training.
