As discussed during the dispatch call, firefighters responded to an internal alarm at a building near W Touhy Avenue in Chicago. Using a key card, they entered the building and had to force open an internal door to access a malfunctioning space heater that triggered the alarm. Officers later anticipated that a tenant might report a possible burglary, but the forced entry was related to the fire department’s response.
