Bally's Chicago casino site serves as firefighter training center before demolition

The Chicago Fire Department is using the future location of Bally's Chicago as a training ground until the former Tribune Publishing plant is prepared and cleared for demolition.

At the soon-to-be-demolished Freedom Center, the Chicago Fire Department has started holding drills for its trainees and firefighters. A window washer suspended outside a skyscraper and people stranded inside a burning, smoke-filled building were among the scenarios that were simulated.
