Yes, reports are that one has passed away. I will wait till my dept makes the proper notification of the passing before I post any info. I hope that the rest of you will be respectful and do the same!

I spent an hour watching the "Firehouse USA Boston" clips on Youtube last night. These feature the E37/L26 house in Boston.

These videos show Lt. Kevin "Two Times" Kelley in action on the job, and relaxing at home. They put a face with the name, which all too often doesn't happen with LODD notices. I was left with a deep sense of loss and sadness for his family and friends.

My condolences to his wife and family, and to Stevie, Dave and the rest of the BFD. Rest in peace, Luft.

I recorded the series (originally from the series) myself and my children have watched them many times, my first thought when the news coverage hit was, "oh damn, that was the same company from the show, stomach sank and felt as if I personally knew the guys. Lt Kelley was portrayed as a true professional during the series, the City of Boston and the world have lost a tremendous brother... and heaven has gained another great man.

God Bless and Godspeed.

Please keep the information forthcoming on the funeral arrangements, I will definately plan the trip out of respect to the fallen.
