Puzzle: What In The World Happened Here? CLXVI (166):
Now that it is so easy to locate a picture published on the Internet, we have to resort to Google Earth, or our own original photos.

Didn't happen anywhere near Chicago.
And something ended up hanging in a tree...
So, assuming Wagga by his absence is not objecting, here's the beans. On January 23, 1961, a B-52 carrying two nuclear bombs broke up in flight and crashed near Goldsboro, NC. The two bombs were released and landed about a mile from the location in the photo.
the fire station is in Faro, NC at the corner of Faro and Big Daddy Roads. The incident was the first so-called broken arrow, or lost nuke. the bombs descended on parachutes, one of which failed and the other of which snagged a tree.
I have no idea what the Chicago comment was about, but the rest of the clues ought to be clear now.
