Two LODD's in Bridgeport CT this afternoon
I'm not in the state anymore and it's not on the news yet. Two Bridgeport CT firefighters died a residential structure fire this afternoon. Sounds like a collapse of some kind, no further information at this time.

Rest in peace, Brothers..."The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."

Rest easy in peace, brothers...
I found this looking for something else, and hadn't seen it before...
MY BROTHER HAS FALLEN
My brother has fallen; no I don't know his name
Have not the same parents still family all the same
He lives in this town, I live in another
It doesn't really matter cause this man is my brother
My brother I call him yet I've never seen his face
I have brothers and sisters all over the place
You see I am a Firefighter and our families are one
A tradition for years past from father to son
Around the world, a brotherhood of unity
A closeness, a bond, most people don't see
I'll watch his back; He'll watch mine
"You go, we go" time after time
His family's my family, Her family theirs
We're part of one family where everyone cares
I'll look after your kids, please look in on my wife
Should that day finally come when I laid down my life
We dedicate our lives helping our fellow man
Living day after day doing all that we can
Wherever we're needed whether nighttime or day
To save the life of another we'll step in harms way
My Brother has fallen doing what he loved best
And among the honored, he now stands with the rest
For a mile in dress uniform here everyone stands
For my Brother has fallen God, into your hands.
