If any member of the uniformed service loses his or her life in the line of duty, a memorial service shall be held outside the main (LaSalle Street) entrance of City Hall, which shall include, as participants, the mayor, fire commissioner, and alderman or aldermen representing the ward(s) in which said member lived and/or worked. During such memorial service, the official City of Chicago flag shall be flown at half-mast, and the name of the deceased member shall be read while Taps are played. Immediately thereafter, said flag shall be lowered and given to the local fire station where said member was assigned, and shall then be presented to the survivors of said member as a tribute to the deceased. In the event of inclement weather, the memorial service may be held in the lobby of City Hall.
