Excerpts from abc7chicago.com:
A house fire has claimed the lives of all four family members of Chicago Firefighter Walter Stewart. The fire broke out just after 9 p.m. in the 2500-block of North Rutherford Avenue on Tuesday night. Everyone inside the home suffered severe smoke inhalation.
The blaze claimed the lives of Stewart’s wife, 36-year-old Summer Day-Stewart, who died on Friday, as well as the couple’s 7-year-old son, Ezra Stewart, who died on Wednesday. The two remaining children, a 2-year-old boy and 9-year-old girl — who have been hospitalized since the fire — passed away Friday night.
Ignite the Spirit, a Chicago Fire Department charity, has established a fund to support the family.

Harry they’re all gone. His son Ezra died the day after the fire. His wife died the next day and now the remaining children have succumbed. They’re all gone.
