On the 100th anniversary of the Chicago Stock Yard fire where 21 Chicago firemen were killed two Chicago firefighters died in the line of duty today while inside a vacant commercial building searching for vagrants.
A wall collasped on them as well as 16 others all but two were rescued right after the collaspe but for tow it was too late. One of the firefighters was reported as 34 years old leaving behind a wife and three children one being only one year old he is also being reported as a former police officer and his wife is Mayor Daleys' personal secertary.
As of now there is no information on the second firefighter who lost his life.
Our thoughts and prayers got out to the families of both these firefighters, the Chicago Fire Department and all those affected by this tragedy so close to Christmas.
May my brother firefighters rest in peace
