Similarly, during our Memorial Services on October 17, 1970 (four years after the 23rd Street Fire) it was announced that during the service a fire downtown at Box 583 had resulted in the death of a member of Rescue Co. 1.

Also in Chicago a few years ago while attending a service for the 21 members who lost their lives during the Stock Yards fire 2 members were killed after a roof collapse on the South Side.

'70 was the 1st year the Ceremony returned to the 100th St Monument...i remember we were standing in Ranks during the '70 Service & suddenly someone in the Brass on the dais must have been notified about FF Tuite....they all were suddenly whispering among themselves & some left.....we did not know what had happened but we knew it was something important....CONTINUED REST IN PEACE FF TUITE.....
