As many of you may know Dylan Cunningham left this world yesterday during a dive training exercise. I think it’s only fitting to help raise some funds for his family, fiancé and his soon to be son, to help lessen the stress during this time. Many of us were honored to have had the privilege of knowing Dylan and having him be apart of our lives. Those who didn’t get the chance should know that he would have welcomed you with open arms. He was a genuine person who cared for every person he met and could put a smile on anyone’s face. Coworkers, friends, and family, let’s do what we do best and give back to the man who gave his all each and everyday. These funds will be given to Laura as a beneficiary and be used by them for whatever is needed. Here is the link for the Baby Registry as well .
From the South Holland Fire Department Facebook page:
From J. Wynsma, Village Administrator for the Village of South Holland:
The Village of South Holland is deeply saddened to report the tragic loss of Firefighter Dylan Cunningham following an underwater dive on Wednesday, September 30, 2020. The cause of the incident is under investigation.
Dylan has been a member of the South Holland Fire Department since 2011. He started as a part-time firefighter and began serving full time in 2018. Dylan also served in the Illinois Army National Guard since 2012.
We know you have many questions, and so do we. Our efforts will bring conclusions that we will share with you in the coming days.
In the days ahead we will be doing everything we can to support the Cunningham family. We ask that you keep Dylan’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
Excerpts from Chicago.cbslocal.com:
One firefighter suffered minor injuries Thursday evening trying to contain a fire at a home at 16754 S. Paxton Ave. in South Holland. At one point, fire officials were forced to call in a mayday, when the flames were out of control.
Excerpts from the journalreview.com:
Calumet City, Flossmoor, Crete Township, and South Holland fire departments have received a combined total of $610,000 in grant money to improve their stations and get equipment that will increase firefighter safety.
The Calumet City Fire Department was awarded a $142,000 grant, which will go toward updating two of its fire station’s ventilation systems to air out toxic vehicle exhaust fumes. The department will also use the funds to buy 15 sets of turnout gear and 38 helmets.
They previously had been awarded multiple grants through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, which provided the department with a mobile training simulator, specialized training props, personal protective equipment and a special response vehicle.
In 2018, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program made $315 million directly available to fire department, state fire training academies, and emergency medical service organizations to buy equipment, emergency vehicles and fund training.
The Flossmoor Fire Department received $222,345 and will buy emergency breathing equipment, replacing equipment that was nearly 20 years old.
The Crete Township Fire Protection District was awarded $52,380 and plans to install fire station vehicle exhaust systems. South Holland Fire Department was given $193,409 to buy new air packs.
The Harvey FD struck a MABAS Box Alarm for fire in a vacant apartment at 147th Street and Vail Avenue Wednesday morning. They had another fire there earlier in the week.
