Queen Anne's firefighter dies; hurt two years ago answering alarm
(Baltimore-AP) -- A Queen Anne's County firefighter injured in
an accident nearly two years ago has died.
Forty-one-year-old Doug Thomas of Chester was the Second
Assistant Chief with the Kent Island volunteer fire company. He
died yesterday at Baltimore's Shock Trauma Center.
Thomas was riding a firetruck that crashed and overturned while
en route to a reported boat fire in September 2001. He was
paralyzed from the waist down and had been in-and-out of the
hospital for major surgeries since the accident.
He was a member of the fire company for 25 years and will be
buried with full honors.
Funeral arrangements are still being finalized.
