2 LODD's in PA today...

[Scene25]

Just wanted to make a post up for the 2 firefighters that lost their lives tonight, trying to save another.

2 Firefighter/SCUBA team members entered a rapid creek to search for a missing kayacker. Both firefighters died, and I have not yet heard the cause, but they were apperently swept down stream in the attempt. The Kayacker was found DOA. I would like to send my prayers out to the families of these 2 brave people. God Bless and may you and God protect your families and friends from Heaven.

Limited information as of this time, but the 2 firefighters are from Butler County, which is 30-40 minutes outside of the City of Pittsburgh.
