The wife of a Chicago firefighter and their three children have died from injuries sustained a fire that broke out at their home last week.
Walter Stewart, the firefighter, was on duty when the house fire erupted Tuesday and rushed back to his residence in the city's Montclare neighborhood to perform CPR on his wife, reported, although he was not one of the crew members originally assigned to respond. Stewart's name and service role was identified by the Chicago Fire Fighters Union Local 2, according to the station.
Officials at the fire department previously said that all four members of Stewart's family had suffered from smoke inhalation during the blaze, CBS Chicago reported. Autopsy results with definitive causes of death for Stewart's wife and children were not yet finalized when the station published its latest report about the house fire.
On Friday, firefighters distributed smoke detectors and other fire prevention materials to people living in Stewart's neighborhood, which CBS Chicago said is common following a deadly blaze. Stewart's family home did have smoke detectors, according to the station.
