'CARDINAL EMERGENCIES' (formerly Emergencies Behind the Scenes) is the official FIRE-RESCUE-EMS page for The Cardinal -- Arlingtoncardinal.com and CHICAGOFIREMAP.NET with photos, flash news, and local public safety reports of all types and major public safety emergencies worldwide. Content feeds are listed from the The Cardinal -- Arlingtoncardinal.com FIRE-RESCUE-EMS categories and CHICAGOFIREMAP

.NET. Contributions or questions about incidents or how the page is managed are welcome from all participants. CARDINAL EMERGENCIES promotes community support of firefighters, paramedics, police, sheriff deputies and provides a sampling of notifications of FIRE-RESCUE-EMS incidents, primarily in the northwest suburbs of Chicago (most incidents), City of Chicago & Chicagoland (major incidents), Illinois (major or select incidents), United States (major or select incidents) and the world (major or select incidents). ALERTS IN ALL CAPS ARE FEEDS FROM CHICAGOFIREMAP.NET OR ARE BREAKING NEWS, SPECIAL NOTICES OR EXTRA FEATURE NOTICES. Incidents that are NOT in ALL CAPS are not necessarily included on The Cardinal -- Arlingtoncardinal.com website or the CHICAGOFIREMAP.NET website. They are generally on first impression, but not always, lesser incidents from a life safety or property loss perspective. Breaking News is a rough draft of news. CAPS NOTICES are flash notices that are early reports without verification, and may not be as accurate as full reports on The Cardinal -- Arlingtoncardinal.com or on CHICAGOFIREMAP.NET. Some of these alerts MAY NOT evolve to full reports on The Cardinal -- Arlingtoncardinal.com. MAPS or GOOGLE STREET VIEWS of incident location are estimates, and are not exact locations, unless indicated. Occasionally addresses are given from the caller's address witnessing a fire across the street. BOTTOM LINE? Do NOT rely on these address as precise and accurate, or by any means legal notifications. Fans of 'Emergencies Behind the Scenes' are encouraged to provide news, questions or updates on an incident. Following is the preferred format. DATE/TIME, FIRE DEPARTMENT, NATURE OF INCIDENT, ADDRESS, LINK TO GOOGLE MAP (OPTIONAL)
