JohnDoe writes:: The flag you described is the Chicago city flag - white stripe, blue stripe, white middle with 4 red 6 pointed stars, blue stripe, white stripe. You can see it at http://snipurl.com/hcqh, and the explanation of the design is at http://snipurl.com/hcqi. Backdraft was set in Chicago, so they would also use the Chicago city flag. The city flag is often draped under the american flag or carried with the casket, it's just a city of Chicago tradition. As a firefighter, I can attest to this personally.; 16 of 6577 found this helpful. Did you?

othello writes:: Actually, it was an American flag. At all police or military funerals, they fold an American flag, never a state flag. Not to mention I watched that movie every day for a month; 15 of 6578 found this helpful. Did you?
