Alton has a number of condemned houses awaiting demolition; instructors set up different scenerios at different houses. The training in residential fire techniques is scheduled to continue Tuesday and Wednesday in Alton. Additional photos from Monday's training are online at thetelegraph.com.

In the Loop on Sunday, Chicago Fire Department personnel instead rescued a pet bird from a window ledge. Video of the avian rescue near Michigan Avenue and Jackson Boulevard was posted to Twitter about 5 p.m. Sunday by a man who asked reporters to refer to him by his social media handle, "ChiTownCheese." The video shows the bird on a ledge on the second floor of the Motorola Building, formerly the Railway Exchange Building, 224 S. Michigan Ave. Many commenters online said the animal in question appeared to be a macaw, which some speculated had clipped wings, necessitating its rescue.
