It is heartbreaking when a first responder loses his or her life on the job, as happened Monday when firefighter Andrew “Drew” Price died of injuries he sustained while fighting a Lincoln Park fire that had broken out early that morning.
Price was just 39, but was already a 14-year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department, which he joined in 2009. All of Chicago should join Price’s family, friends, fellow firefighters and the CFD in mourning the tragedy.
