Chicago’s Wally ’smoke eater’ Polino Dies

March 28th, 2010 · No Comments

Wally Polino of Chicago died in his sleep sometime last night. Wally was a fireman for over 20 years on Chicago’s Truck 51 and one of the coolest mother ******’s I’ve ever met.

Wally always said the intensity of actually being in a fire could never be matched in a movie, but that Backdraft did it well.

Wally was a Crown Vic advocate and taught me they look best with the honeycomb grill and police wheels like so.

I will miss Wally’s guidance and friendship, but I think he would’ve wanted me and anyone else to use his death as a source of inspiration to seize the day! He was 56. RIP.
