On June 7, 2018, at approximately 5:00 P.M., Officer Charles (Chuckie) Irvine Jr. and his partner observed a vehicle driving recklessly as it traveled eastbound on West Silver Spring Drive near North 91st Street. The officers attempted to stop the suspect’s vehicle by activating the squad’s lights and sirens; however, the suspect’s vehicle refused to pull over and began to elude officers. A vehicle pursuit subsequently began and as the suspect’s vehicle approached 7600 West Silver Spring Drive the squad car lost control and rolled over. Officer Irvine Jr., who was 23 years old, tragically lost his life in the squad accident.
The suspect involved in the vehicle pursuit was apprehended by Milwaukee Police and sentenced to 30 years in prison for his involvement in Officer Irvine’s death.
Although Officer Irvine Jr. is no longer with us, his life and legacy will forever live on. Thank you Officer Irvine Jr. for your dedication and ultimate sacrifice to the City of Milwaukee and to the Milwaukee Police Department.
We Remember.
Prayers to family and friends
Today Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Local 215 worked in partnership with Fishing has no Boundaries MKE. Fishing Has no Boundaries gives people with disabilities an opportunity to go fishing out on charter boats. Local 215 Milwaukee Firefighters were used to assist movement of people and their wheelchairs on and off the boats.
It was a wonderful day and big thank you to the firefighters to help make sure everyone was transferred safely. You all are awesome!
We really appreciate your time and assistance with the event. Making sure the participants are transferred safely is a top priority. Thanks for making that happen and we look forward to working with you again next year!
Thank you much to the crews of local 215. Was awesome they came out to assist the participants that needed help! Secondly they went above and beyond to go to McKinley after a boat broke down/towed in and offloaded the participant there. Again greatly appreciate your assitance in this event and being a outreach/shining example to the local community.
What a wonderful opportunity!
Thank you to everyone.
That was one of my favorite volunteer events. Can't wait for next year!
Wow, that's awesome! ♥️🎣
