Spotlight on Excellence:
"Diamond in the Rough"
On October 8, 1871, a fire broke out in a barn on the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois. The site of Mr. and Mrs. O'Leary's former property and the alleged starting point of the Chicago fire is now occupied by the Robert J. Quinn Fire Academy. For more than 24 hours, the fire burned through the heart of Chicago, killing 300 people and leaving one-third of the city's population homeless. This coincidentally is the same place where all Probationary Candidates who want to become Firefighters and Paramedics train to prepare to graduate and serve the great citizens in the City of Chicago.
