A fundraiser for Andrew “Drew” Price, the Chicago firefighter killed this week while battling a fire in Lincoln Park, surpassed its goal of $25,000 Thursday evening — the same day it was launched.

Price, 39, was on the roof of a four-story burning building in the 2400 block of North Lincoln Avenue, responding to an extra-alarm fire shortly before 6 a.m. Monday.
