Excerpts from cbsnews.com:

The Chicago Fire Department on Wednesday honored a fallen firefighter by adding his badge to the memorial wall at the Quinn Fire Academy.

Chicago Fire Department Lt. Kevin Ward died on Aug. 29, 2023, weeks after being injured fighting a house fire on the Northwest Side.

Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt and Mayor Brandon Johnson escorted Ward’s family to the wall where his badge was unveiled.

“The badge we retired today is more than a number. It symbolizes a life dedicated to the call of duty, a life given in sacrifice and service to others,” Nance-Holt said.

The commissioner told his family they will always be a part of the Chicago firefighter family.
