This one is hard to swallow since it happened less than 20 miles from where I started in the Fire Service and where many family and friends live!
It is in great sadness that we as a Brotherhood post the 5th Line Of Duty Death in 2012 from the United States Fire Administration. Fellow Brother Firefighter Brandon Little has made the ultimate sacrifice in love for their fellow man. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and members of the United Hook & Ladder Company 33.
