CFD Casualty

Seriously injured almost three weeks ago and perished yesterday:

  • A Chicago Fire Department firefighter seriously injured while responding to a Norwood Park residential fire earlier this month has died, the Fire Department said Tuesday morning.

    Lt. Kevin Ward, 59, died at Loyola Medical Center surrounded by family, the department said. He will be transported to the Cook County medical examiner’s office Tuesday in a noon procession.

    Ward was one of three firefighters transported to hospitals after an Aug. 11 fire at the home at 8336 Balmoral Ave. on the Northwest Side. Two firefighters were inside the home when an emergency occurred, CFD spokesman Larry Langford said at the time.

We had no idea he had still been in the hospital. Deepest sympathies and condolences to the Fire side.

RIP Lt. Ward.

no charges filed

happened near 77th Street and Marshfield Avenue in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.

Police said firefighters responded to a report of a car on fire in a garage. While there, the 47-year-old resident told a lieutenant and a battalion chief there was a gas smell in his basement.

When they went to check, he allegedly pointed a large knife at them and locked them in the basement, where the floor was covered in gasoline.

One of the few groups that the police state can arrest without fear of being cancelled. Prolly didnt get a permit/license to swim and got the old we are concerned for your safety line. Large gatherings of illegal immigrants on park district property is a-okay tho. Also note no people of colour in that beach picture so....

Of course all of those idiots in the "swim club" are all democrats who voted for the current asshole. When will these idiots wise up and realize the democratic party is not for you but for illegals, communists and other worthless assholes?
