Sorry for your loss, My Corey and Ed rest in peace. They are hero's (as in my eyes all Firefighters are) but, they paid the ultimate price. as a firefighter is well of. God Bless CFD.
I spent 31yrs with the cfd and have great respect for our dispatchers I worked the day the riots of 1968 started and main handled radio calls and did it with professional ease also the macormic fire and the micklebery fire. I am proud to have had the best calmest and men dispatchers to work with when on a run.
Incredibly sad audio and a very sad day for CFD. May our brother rest in peace and thank you for posting the audio. Great job on the production, could not have done it better myself.
i was assigned to engine Truck 47, and that morning all 12 of us sat around and listened to this call, and it was a long morning. 335 ....it was odd to suddenly remember that.
During the video, starting at 11:19 plus, other photos.The look on the firefighter faces says it all. Firefighters are a real family!! God Bless all of you for service!! Stay safe. Rest in peace Corey and Ed !!!
RIP Corey and Eddie...two years have passed but the guys still think about both of you every day. Keep your guiding hands on your brothers and sisters.
Sad day for CFD like others have mentioned great dispatcher, finger bang on the pulse... Wish our dispatchers were that quick & alert in the U.K, rip guys ...
my cousin's rig was called out to this fire e126 he was scheduled to be the engineer on the engine that night but had to swap shifts with another firefighter
RIP, Dispatchers did a great job, fast work by all the OIC's and Command. Always a shit feeling when you hear a mayday come over. Sucks that something like this had to happen in a big empty building..... Rest easy brothers.
my cousin was originally scheduled to work at the closest firehouse to this location on the day of the collapse but had swapped shifts with another guy at the firehouse
I remember this day...... I woke up to the news helo over the scene of the collapse. I later learned 2 brothers didnt make it. years later I still weep when I hear this radio call. GODSPEED Corey and Ed , You both received your wings and youll always be in our hearts. Stay low and let it blow, See you when I arrive.
Geez.... WHY did they go to Northwestern, yes, a major hospital on Chicago's near North side, but many miles from the fire scene when Christ hospital a level one trauma center in OakLawn (a suburb that abuts to Chicago city limits was less than half the distance? Also the traffic suggests they were near Marquette Park, several miles West of the fire and passing Holy Cross Hospital that's just East of the park?
I remember watching this on TV..WGN had a chopper over this and watching the fighterfighters digging thru debris , just knew it wasnt good..This dispatcher did a wonderful job.
With all due respect to Corey and Ed, please don't forget those active members lost off duty due to complications of on the job injury. I've been in a buggy after nearly losing my husband, only to have him die years later from injury incurred from CO2 poisoning. Be careful out there guys. The damage from CO2 never goes away. It strikes at any time in the middle of a happy life.
I've been to fires where a member/brother firefighter has been killed, and went through the wake and funeral process. When you're in the midst of the emergency, you don't always get to hear all of the radio calls, and hearing these makes it even more saddening. Too bad most of the country are more interested in hearing the sports scores, or who was booted off a talent show, than news of the death of a true hero in the line-of-duty.
they went to NMH (northwestern) because Christ can't handle 2 traumatic arrests and more traumas. they have to spread the patients out amongst the hospitals. by the way 95 street has a lot of traffic and they can make good time flying down the drive with ALS E98 blocking the southbound lanes of the drive at Chicago Ave.
@Dutychief yeah the CFD always had great, excellent, dispatchers i have a scanner and they sound like they know what theyre doing but this one guy sounds kinda like NHL Hawks announcer Pat Foley lol seriously his voice is just like that
and willieofroanoke both hospitals are 10 miles away!! Going to Christ from the ryan or the drive sucks because you have to all the way west to 4400 west on 95 st which does NOT move the way the drive does!

No matter how much you pay that dispatcher it is not enough, 3x would not have been enough.The man is an athlete of emergency resopnse.
@Dutychief thats T.G. i can't say his real name,one of the best fire dispatchers we have.
Geez....

the communication in this audio was unreal.
Outstanding Job to all on scene....51 likes and no dislikes.....

Very sad. The dispatcher is awesome.
I know what this audio was about just wondering because that picture was not taken at the fire
Great dispatcher. Very sorry for the loss of good firemen. Thank you for continuing to fight, for all of us.

This dispatcher did an excellent job.
4:48 thats me that is a fire in HazleTwp. PA building had structural collapse due to burnout no one was injured
God Bless America!
Rip Cory and Edward

If there off full bypass then they can handle multiple traumas if there on full bypass which they are almost 70% of the time then no
mayday call comes in at 3:08 . R.I.P.
great dispatch and comms. sad situation. best to all
This is why...
@Dutychief yeah the CFD always had great, excellent, dispatchers i have a scanner and they sound like they know what theyre doing but this one guy sounds kinda like NHL Hawks announcer Pat Foley lol seriously his voice is just like that
