Never Forget

Over the next seven day period, there are three significant "Line of Duty Death" (LODD) anniversaries that we should all remember.

FF/PM Chris Rutledge
10/22/1993 - San Bernardino County Fire - Traffic Collision - Medic in back of ambulance

Captain Mark Loutzenhiser
Firefighter Daniel Hoover-Najera
Engineer Jason McKay
Engineer Jess McLean
Firefighter Pablo Cerda
10/26/2006 - USFS - Engine 57- Esperanza Fire, Cabazon - Burnover

Engineer Steven Rucker
10/29/2003 - Novato Fire Department - Cedar Fire, San Diego - Burnover

In the last days of August of this year several fire units throughout the State were involved in incidents, including an entire camp full of 65 firefighters overrun by fire resulting in the death of two personnel and injury/exposure to many others.

Please take the time to remember those who gave their lives in the performance of their duties. Let's use their sacrifice to learn how we can avoid these incidents in the future.
