A friend of mine I went though fire academy with answered The Last Alarm a week or so ago. He was a good man, a great guy. And he died doing what he loved. I don't think he would have wished it any other way. He is not the first friend of mine or former co-worker who went on scene and never came home. I had the incredible honor of carrying a badge, as both a member of law enforcement and also fire/EMS for a decade.

For everyone out there on TRF who has ever carried the tin (or stayed up worrying about those of us who do), THANK YOU.

Thanks for reminding of us of those who serve and put themselves in harm's way for us. Sorry for the loss.

Sorry for your loss, I am grateful for all the heroes like your friend and yourself who risk their lives to save ours everyday. My thoughts are with his family.

Hero is the last thing I ever was. I was just lucky enough to have the job.

Here are a few websites, where you can read about those who have died in the line of duty:

http://www.odmp.org/

http://www.nleomf.org/

There are many other regional sites and memorials, but these two are a good start if you would like to read about and remember these fine individuals!

Those who serve deserve more thanks than we can possibly ever give them.
