I worked with these men and its sad to hear a brother killed in a line of duty may he RIP now.

Every 53 hours of the day both first responders save and protect their community to make sure everything is ok. these 2 men of PGFD made that choice to do their job and make sure everyone is ok. 1 of them is alive the other one made an ultimate sacrifice to their family, friends and the people he saved that does not even know.

We train everyday and everyhour to make sure we got the right time and requirements to do the job.
