A request for assistance
May 3
From a reader:
Hello,
I have an amazing friend who lost her father due to a rescue accident when she was young, ever since she has held firefighters to a high respect as a way to remember her late father.
She is soon to be getting married to the perfect man that of course is firefighter, her dream man! So I’m writing this message with hopes that I can create a very special gift for the two, as I know a big part of their wedding will also be showing a celebration of firefighters.
I’m hoping maybe I can get some well wishes for the bride and groom, maybe patches, or just a photo and signature of the fire house and team. If interested I will pay for whatever materials and stamps needed to have this mailed so I can work on putting together a gift that the soon to be Mr & Mrs will truly be able to appreciated!
Thank you for your time and all that you do,
Courtney

I finally had a chance to view this memorial. I remember the night this happened, I was listening to the CFD radio.I always thought this was inside the firehouse.. It was done well and worth a look. A very sad story and I can’t imagine the suffering he went through before he died.

Hello,I am a LT on Chicago Tower 10. Trying to put together a display of all our old rigs including Truck 10. I was wondering if you had images you would be able to share. These will not be for sale, strictly for firehose pride pictures only. I’d like to show all the rigs Truck and Tower 10 had as far back as possible. I have the two newer ones 316 and 358. Could you possibly help? Thank you.Joe RimkusLT Tower 10Chicago“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” Pericles
