2 Firefighters Killed, 14 injured in Chicago Fire

[ShortytheFirefighter]

Chicago FD lost 2 firefighters this morning and 14 more are hospitalized after a fire in a vacant building. 6 of the 14 are critical. For those of you who don't know, this is also the 100th anniversary of the Chicago stockyard fire, where they lost 21 firefighters in the largest loss of life on a career department until FDNY on 9/11. 12/22 is not a good day in Chicago history.

RIP Brothers and a speedy recovery to those in the hospital.

As a former firefighter/paramedic, my heart goes out to their families, and everyone in their house. :(

May God watch over and protect all our first responders.

God bless the survivors and the families of the lost. As someone who lost his young father just before Christmas, I can tell you the survivors will suffer mightily.
