Today marks the anniversary of the Ankum/Stringer fire, a tragic incident that occurred in a vacant building and resulted in the loss of life for two firefighters. This event serves as a somber reminder of the dangers faced by those who put their lives on the line to protect others.
While the exact details of the incident remain part of firefighting history, the impact it had on the Chicago Fire Department—and the broader fire service community—continues to be remembered with respect and reflection.
Below are some photos from the anniversary commemorations, captured by Tim Olk. These images reflect the ongoing tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
As we remember the past, we also honor the courage and dedication of today’s firefighters, who continue to serve with unwavering commitment.
