May he Rest In Peace and may his brothers and sisters take comfort in our support.

Its a tragedy that needs to be stopped. Not specific to his incident because I dont know how or why he crashed, but I see it too often up here. People drive recklessly to calls in their POV so they can make the truck and be first in the fire...Why...

I hope the family and friends are coping, all my best to everyone.

STAY SAFE...

such a tragic lose of life---young 18 year old -my heart goes out to his family and the Department. Do we finally learn form this?? SLOW DOWN BUCKLE UP over 25% of firefighter deaths have something to do with driving.
