Condolences to the family and the department!

Stay safe everyone, slow down, buckle up, and slow down some more! It really isn't worth the trouble!

May God bless his family and fellow FF during this time of Loss. To my Brothers/sisters out there be careful responding to your calls. We don't know what caused this accident. Speed is not neccessarily the main factor.
This time of year esp. road conditions have to be questioned. Many years ago I was responding to a call and going through an S curve around the corner from the dept. I hit ice and spun out of control and into the hillside at 30 mph. The roads had been salted and were clear right up to that point. Road condition or Driver error our Brother has gone on to meet our Lord. May he rest in Peace and God be with his friends and family and comfort them during this time of loss..
