A Lieutenant from Engine Company 249 in Brooklyn was killed in the Line of Duty this evening. Initial reports are that companies were operating at a hi-rise fire and had wind driven fire and heavy smoke conditions. Please lets say a prayer for our fellow brother and may he rest in peace. To all other firefighters play safe and be careful.
