Another Firefighter Passes
- A second member of the Chicago Fire Department member has died after contracting COVID-19.
Edward Singleton, 55, died Tuesday, after suffering from complications from the novel coronavirus, Fire Commissioner Richard Ford said in a statement. He is survived by his wife and two children. Singleton joined the department in August 1987, and his most recent assignment was at Midway Airport on the Southwest Side.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the loss of a second dedicated member,’’ Ford said in the statement.
Hopefully, the last casualty.
Godspeed Firefighter Singleton.

The CFD has yet to recognize either FF's death as Line of Duty. Shameful!
My deepest condolences. Thank you to all first responders and public safety personnel for all you do to protect us all. I am extremely grateful for the services you provide us citizens day in and day out. Please stay safe!
Very sad.
Thank you for your service. RIP
RIP Ed. He was a gentleman and good guy. Bless the CPD and CFD. Let’s look out for each other, now more than ever.
RIP, thanks for a job well done.

Other workers are at risk and we should all band together

Rest In Peace brother. My god guide you and protect your family
Condolences to the family and friends of our fallen firefighter brother.
Godspeed. What were his underlying issues?
Another loss too soon, peace to you Sir, thank you for your contributions.
Please let us be willing to change so we can minimize the loss and destruction that is here now, and to all do our part helping hold with first responders and front liners. Thanks to you all, your dedication and sacrifice hasn't gone unnoticed.
RIP
But it's time for the fire services to do some screenings for heart and lung problems. We all know the primary killer of firemen is myocardial infarction, which is of course a risk group for any contagion. Those that have chronic issues are at risk, period. Let's hope in the future more is done to protect those that have been compromised by the job.
Godspeed indeed, our brother.
RIP
RIP. May God bless you and your family.
Does anyone know how many CFD members are in the department and how many have confirmed Covid-19? It seems like it is spreading like wildfire in CPD.
God bless you brother.
May he rest in peace but then again over here in Chicago we have some good news coming;
