An email just came out from our Director:
I am saddened to report that one of our Fire Apparatus Engineers was fatally injured this morning while responding to a traffic collision in the Riverside Unit on the I-10 freeway. Region Chief Dale Hutchinson is at the scene and Riverside Unit Chief John Hawkins is at the hospital and both are in constant communication with me as they work to get the family all the support they will need in the wake of this tragedy. I will share further updates with you after all family notifications are made.
Please keep our employee, the family and the crew in your thoughts and prayers. It is critical that as we deal with this difficult news, we stay focused on the job at hand.
Ken Pimlott
