'Our Hearts Are Very Heavy': CFD Remembers Firefighter Jermaine Pelt
"He wasn't just loved here in this firehouse, he was loved in the community," Captain Rory Ohse said.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Colleagues of fallen firefighter Jermaine Pelt said they are heartbroken.
They describe the 18-year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department as a soft-spoken leader. CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey spent the afternoon with his CFD family as they process this news.
"We know that every time the bell rings and we go out on those calls we know there's a possibility we may not come back - but that's what we signed up for," said Deputy District Chief Anthony Frazier Sr. of the Chicago Fire Department.
