The Chicago Fire Department was mourning the loss of one of its own Tuesday after a 49-year-old veteran of the department was killed during a blaze on the city’s South Side.
Pelt was manning a hose in one of the burning buildings when"conditions worsened," authorities said. All firefighters were ordered out of the building, but Pelt"went down" just as that order was being issued.
He was"quickly found" near the hose line by his lieutenant - who was also hospitalized but is in good condition - and brought out for treatment, Nance-Holt said. "Despite our best efforts - our firefighters and paramedics, they worked feverishly on Jermaine doing CPR all the way from the scene to Christ Hospital - he passed away," she said."This is a huge loss to us as a family," Nance-Holt said."Jermaine is our family. And when we lose one of our members, it takes a toll on us.
