We are saddened to hear the news out of Boston last night and would like to offer our condolences to everyone involved in this tragic incident
LODD - BOSTON, MA: A three alarm fire tore through a triple decker home on Treadway Road in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood Saturday night, quickly spreading through all three floors and prompting a large response from the BFD. During operations, a mayday was called after Rescue 2 firefighter Robert Kilduff Jr., a 24 year veteran and third generation Boston firefighter, fell from the third floor of the burning building. He was transported to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Officials stated crews were able to knock down the heavy fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby homes, while the cause of the fire and circumstances surrounding the fall remain under investigation. Rest in peace, Brother.
