The NIOSH report on the August 9, 2010 Line of Duty Death (LODD) of Chicago Fire Fighter/Paramedic Christopher Wheatley has now been officially released. FF/PM Wheatley lost his life after falling from a fire escape during a commercial structure fire. His tragic death serves as a sobering reminder of the risks faced by first responders every day.
**Executive Summary**
On the night of August 9, 2010, a 31-year-old career firefighter, the victim, died after falling from a fire escape while performing emergency operations. The incident occurred when crews responded to a fire alarm at a four-story mixed-use building. Upon arrival at 12:31 AM, firefighters observed sparks coming from the roof area near an external exhaust duct that led from a ground-floor restaurant.
The victim, along with three other firefighters, used an exterior fire escape to reach the roof. At the fourth-floor landing, he began climbing a vertical ladder while carrying a 63-pound hand pump in his right hand. A fellow firefighter was assisting him at the landing, but as the victim climbed higher, he lost contact with the support and fell 53 feet onto the pavement below. He was rushed to a local hospital but was later pronounced dead.
**Contributing Factors**
- The decision to use a fire escape for roof access instead of safer alternatives like an aerial ladder or interior stairway.
- The victim’s inability to maintain contact with the vertical portion of the fire escape due to the weight and handling of the hand pump.
**Key Recommendations**
- Develop, implement, and enforce standard operating guidelines (SOGs) regarding the proper and safe use of fire escapes.
- Implement and enforce strict tactical-level accountability procedures to ensure all personnel are accounted for during operations.
- Provide rigorous training for fire companies on safe roof operations and ladder climbing techniques.
- Ensure firefighters receive thorough training on how to safely carry and hoist equipment when moving up or down elevated structures.
- Review and update fire prevention inspection guidelines to better address high-risk occupancies such as restaurants and include input from operational crews.
This report highlights critical areas where improvements can be made to enhance firefighter safety and prevent similar incidents in the future.
