    WATCH | Funeral Services for Chicago Fire Lt. who Collapsed at High-Rise Fire

    April 13, 2023
    Lt. Jan Tchoryk, a 26-year veteran, suffered a heart attack as he climbed the stairs toward the fire.

    Funeral services are underway for a Chicago firefighter, one of two killed last week.

    Lt. Jan Tchoryk collapsed last Wednesday on the 11th floor as he led his crew to the fire on the 27th floor of a high-rise.

    His death came about 28 hours after Chicago Firefighter Jermaine Pelt died while battling a house fire.
