Excerpts from the Chicago Tribune: On a cold Thursday morning, Firefighters Patrick King and Anthony Lockhart—both of whom lost their lives battling a fire on February 11, 1998—were honored at the very site where they made the ultimate sacrifice. The incident occurred at the Beverly Tire Store when the roof collapsed, claiming their lives. Today, that location is a peaceful park named in their memory, and it was here that the King Lockhart Memorial Statue was unveiled on a bitterly cold day. Gina King, Patrick’s wife, still feels the weight of that tragic night. “It seems like it happened last month,†she said. “They say time heals all wounds, but that’s not true.†She continues to wear a necklace with a small replica of her husband’s badge, number 1407, as a constant reminder of his service and sacrifice. Chicago Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago reflected on the significance of the memorial, calling it a powerful reminder that even with the best training and equipment, danger is ever-present. “This is a dangerous job,†he said. “We do everything we can to bring everyone home safely, but it doesn’t always work out that way.†He noted that while many saw the call as routine, those in the fire service know that no situation is truly routine. “There are many places in this city where firefighters have lost their lives. This one is special because it became a park, a place for remembrance and reflection.†The park features walking paths, benches, and bronze boots marking the exact spots where each firefighter’s body was found. The statue, created by sculptor Marshall Svendsen, stands as a tribute to the selflessness of first responders. “This isn’t about them—it’s about others,†said Rev. Thomas Mulcrone, chaplain of the Chicago Fire Department. “It’s a reminder of what firefighters and paramedics stand for every single day.†Thanks, Dan
