Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
This year, I made a pact that I would honor ALL of the Line of Duty Deaths. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I didn’t know it would be this hard. I fell behind about a week ago and have not been able to catch up. Then today, another LODD in Los Angeles.
Failure is not an option…and I realize that there are plenty of other notifications that assist firefighters in following along with LODD’s. My point was not to compete, but merely to supplement their information with whatever I could find at the time.
I intend to continue on with my goal. To date, there have been 23 LODD’s this year according to my count. The 23rd being Glenn Allen in Los Angeles.
The Fallen Brothers in bold below are the ones I have fallen behind on. The links go directly to their information on the USFA LODD Database.
Rest in Peace Brothers…
