Longest serving Chicago fire fighter retires

[grumpy grizzly]

Chicago's longest serving fire fighter Battalion Chief Jimmy O'Donnell will retire June 14 after 41 years on the job. His retirement is mandatory after reaching his 63rd birthday. After 9-11 Chief O'Donnell led a group of Chicago fire fighters to assist the members of FDNY in those dark days.

He lost an eye and could have gone out on Disability but he loved the job!
