A vacant house fire in Borschemich, Germany yesterday lead to the Line of Duty death of a Firefighter. A special services mask service unit responding from Erkelenze to the fire call rolled over, killing the 33-year-old Firefighter on the passenger side and seriously injuring the Firefighter driving, age 56.
The fire call was dispatched at 1725 hours Monday for the working house fire which brought out the air unit. While responding w/lights and siren on the rural road, the rig ran off and on to the right shoulder and then overcorrected causing the apparatus to flip over. Our sincere condolences.
