Miss. FF LODD, MI FF Ejected-NSB (The Secret List)
MEDICAL EMERGENCY TAKES THE LIFE OF A MISSISSIPPI FIREFIGHTER WHILE OPERATING AT A HOUSE FIRE The Secret List - www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com
We regret to advise you that Captain Richard Lee Montgomery of the Pisgah VFD and also member of the Hobo VFD died in the Line of Duty on New Year's Eve while fighting a house fire in Marietta, Mississippi.
Captain Montgomery lost his life on Wednesday at a structural fire just north of Marietta in southwest Prentiss County. After exiting the burning home, Captain Montgomery collapsed and died from a possible heart attack. Captain Montgomery's Line of Duty death makes the 2008 LODD # at 114.
In MICHIGAN (Crash-no seat belt, Apparatus Driver cited)
...a Lawton FD tanker lost control and flipped over while responding to a barn fire this morning around 0830 hours. The driver, a 26-year-old Lawton Firefighter lost control and the tanker went off the road, hit an embankment, and then overturned. The passenger, a 21-year-old Lawton Firefighter, was thrown from the fire apparatus. Both were taken the Bronson Hospital for their injuries.
==The driver, who was wearing his seat belt, was treated and released.
==The passenger, who was not wearing his seat belt (NSB), is in serious condition.
==The driver of the fire apparatus was cited for traveling to fast for road conditions. Police blame both his speed and the icy road conditions for the accident.
Take Care-BE CAREFUL. SLOW DOWN. SEAT BELTS.
