not sure if this made it on here or not, but a FF was killed in a dept. a county away. I think it happened yesterday or monday. a hose or pipe of some sort on an arial blew apart and hit him. he died later that day. he was the nephew of a chief from neighboring dept, so it hits home a little bit. please keep him, his dept, and his family in your prayers.

here's an update...actually the story from firefighterclosecalls.com:

"The Deputy Chief of the Lawrence Park Township VFD (Erie County, PA) Mike Crotty, was tragically killed in the Line of Duty early this evening at a working industrial building fire. Companies were on the mutual aid run, for the working factory fire to the Harbor Creek VFD, when for a yet undetermined reason, the Lawrence Park aerial ladder had a catastrophic failure when a portion of the waterway and master stream separated from the main ladder, falling, striking the Deputy Chief, who was operating in a command role. Initial reports are that the device had a pinnable waterway and it was flowing water at the time of the failure.
We have also been advised that Chief Crotty was recently hired as a Career Firefighter for the nearby City of Erie, F.D.
Details will follow. Our sincere condolences to the members of the LPFVD, the HCVFD, the City of Erie FD but especially the family and friends of Deputy Chief Mike Crotty. "

please pray for the family

We lost an Assistant Chief of a neighboring department in January. He worked as a wrecker driver and as killed in a MVA with a rig. Later we found out he swerved to avoid a car in front of him that had 2 children in the back of it. He gave his life to save those kids and we all miss him still.
