Lt. Kevin Ward died weeks after battling a basement fire near O'Hare airport.
The funeral services for Lt. Kevin Ward, 58, will take place Sept. 13.
Ward died at Loyola Medical Center last week after leading the charge into a burning home Aug. 11 in the 8300-block of West Balmoral Avenue.Two other firefighters were injured in the fire. Officials said they were hopeful Ward would pull through, and, because they were never able to speak to him, they still don't know exactly what happened in the moments before a first mayday was called.
"His family was with him as he died peacefully in the hospital. I don't know what else to say," Chicago Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt said. "Every time we lose a member it's like losing someone in our family. We stay together 24 hours a day. And this man has been here 27 years, so he's impacted and touched a lot of lives."Ward is the third firefighter to die in-the-line-of-duty this year.
