Funeral Today
The day after the funeral for one Chicago firefighter, a wake was being held this afternoon for the second man killed when the roof of an abandoned laundry fell on them last week.
Visitation for Corey Ankum started at 2 p.m. and is scheduled to go until 8 p.m. today at the Apostolic Church of God, 6320 S. Dorchester Ave.
Visitation will continue at 10 a.m. on Thursday, followed by his funeral at 11 a.m., also at the church. He will be buried in Lincoln Cemetery in Chicago.
RIP Firefighter Ankum. Final thoughts and remembrances here for the CFD.

unfortunately, all too soon, the tragedies of the CPD & CPD will be forgotten and the public pension issue will continue to be a hotbed political issue. Lumping us in with the rest of the public pension issue. it's time for our union leadership to take a more public approach, and for the lack of a better word, exploit our recent tragedies for our benefit. the public fails to recognize the dailey sacrifice we submit oursleves to each and every day we report to work. there is no other profession out there that puts their lives on the line each and every day to protect the citizens of this great country(other than active duty military). all kidding aside, we deserve at a minimum, what was promised to us at time of hire. it's time for our unions to take a pro-active and public approach, whether it be thru media and/or politics. our unions need to be at the on the rontlines protecting our rights. just as we protect the rights and saftey of all americans!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR FALLEN HERO'S CFD & CPD ALIKE!!!!!!!
Rest in Peace our brother First Responder.
RIP.
RIP Brother!

Actually, the FOP Lodge 7 and Local 2 need to band together to accomplish this public relations blitz.
