From Asher Heimermann:
In the midst of the massive celebration for the Blackhawks, which drew around two million attendees, the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) reported treating 41 individuals primarily for heat-related health concerns along or close to the parade route. According to CFD Media Affairs, the medical teams were prepared to handle any emergencies that arose.
The medical bus, labeled 8-8-12, was positioned at the intersection of Michigan and Adams, while fire engines were strategically placed along Michigan Avenue and Congress Plaza. The paramedics were seen navigating through the crowd on bicycles and utilizing UTVs to respond quickly to any incidents.
As I walked around, it was clear that the city had taken precautions to ensure safety despite the large number of people. The sight of emergency personnel on bikes weaving through the sea of fans was both impressive and reassuring. It's always good to see such dedication when so many people gather in one place.

It’s always fascinating to see how the city manages these large-scale events. The combination of traditional fire engines and modern mobility solutions like bikes and ATVs really highlights their adaptability. If you have any thoughts or stories from the day, feel free to share!
