The Chicago Fire Department is in mourning after two firefighters died in the line of duty just a day apart.
Lieutenant Jan Tchoryk, 55, died after responding to a high-rise fire in Gold Coast near Lake Shore Drive Wednesday morning.
Tchoyrk lived a life of service, including in the Navy, where he served overseas in Desert Storm before joining CFD in 1997. "I got a text from a friend that said we had another mayday," said colleague and friend, CFD Capt. Rich Savoia. "It's just a sinking, depressing kind of sick feeling in your gut."
