Sergeant Injured
- A Chicago police sergeant suffered from smoke inhalation after he and another officer rushed into a burning building on the South Side early Wednesday and, with the help of firefighters, rescued a woman and her adult daughter, who uses a wheelchair, authorities said.
A cigarette may have caused the fire, officials said.
The woman was taken in critical condition to the University of Chicago Medical Center, while the sergeant, 51, a 27-year department veteran, was listed in fair condition. Both suffered from smoke inhalation, but the woman also was burned, officials said.
The sergeant’s condition was later stabilized, and he is expected to remain at U. of C. for another day or two, Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago said at the hospital.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Brave officers.
Very nice work. Should be front page news!
Hope the Sgt. gets well soon...
Despite risking his life (as countless other Cops have done), you can remain confident that the Members of the Communitie will still hate cops. *sigh*
And the way things go - the two they saved will probably complain and sue because they were trying to commit suicide!
Wishing for a speedy recovery. Happy to hear the you’re ok. Great job Sgt., please go home safely each day to your loved ones.
Kudos Sgt. Now take your time getting better. The Shit Show will be here when you get back....
Nice job Sarge.
Its real hero stories that dispel all those negative stereotypes and occupational profiles of police by democrat politicians pandering to a lawless base and reinforced by the agenda driven press. The bravery demonstrated by these Sergeants don't seem to fit into the rubric that there is an urgent necessity for a Department of [In]Justice consent decree introduced by a former Nobel prize (?) winning president and his cabal who sought to radically transform America.
Good job Sergeants! This who we are and what we do. Your bravery is another of the many examples on display the new tide of recruits should emulate. Your quick actions risking your own lives to save someone you probably don't know speaks volumes to the service providing by Law Enforcement Professionals around the globe day in and day out.
As the city spins out of control, it is comforting to know your actions will not be investigated by the aclu, c.o.p.a. or the dept of justice civil rights division. Make Chicago Great again!
Did anyone see Eddie doing new brief on the heroics of these officer and sergeants?
Was he trying way to hard?
Sounded like he was getting ready to ask citizens to get out and vote next?
Not to distract from the actions of these cpd members. But it happens on every watch city wide. No one except cpd members and family know this.
Trying to sell this to public seems to have some other agenda?
Oh that's right there is an election coming up.
Get well soon, Sarge. And don’t do that again.
Police officers save more lives from fires than firemen ever do but hardly ever get the credit.
One year on the medical then good by nice
Nice save, get well.
Amazing work by some amazing sgts!!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to all involved.
The fire was caused by a cigarette. So an officer risked his life, yet again, for a member of the community that didn't even give a fuck about their own life in the first place. Hope he recovers 100% and milks the off-time. Fuck this city.
Nice work, Sarge and all first responders involved.
True Chicago Policeman, Thank You.
Brass balls. Fine jobs! Now, in keeping with current patterns, please post the races of all involved. Doesn't fit the fake news narrative, does it? Again, great work!
What did Big Head Ed have to say to the sergeant when he visited him in the hospital?
