Dennis McGuire, Jr. found an article HERE about a memorial which is nearing completion to honor the memory of Patrick King and Anthony Lockhart who died in a fire at the Beverly tire shop on 106th and Western.
Monday marked the 140th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire. At the same time, work crews are getting close to completing a memorial to two fallen firefighters who died fighting a fire back in 1998.
The Fox River & Countryside Fire/Rescue District has been added to the site. Bill Friedrich submitted images of the stations and apparatus. The new department went ‘live’ earlier this year with two stations, full-time personnel, and apparatus which is both new and used. The new apparatus includes two Medtec ambulances, and an engine plus two tankers on IHC 4400 chassis from Alexis. Used apparatus includes an ambulance from the Morrison Hospital, a small rescue from Rock Island, and engines from North Park and Bartlett.
