The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com
It is with deep regret that we advise you that a Volunteer Firefighter died in the Line of Duty after a single car accident in Shapleigh (Maine) last night. 58 year old Firefighter David Remington of Acton was responding to a rescue call last night around 2200 Hours when he lost control of his truck. He was thrown from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. FF Remington lived in Acton and was a Firefighter for the town of Shapleigh. As always our sincere condolences. And while all the facts on this crash are not all out yet, it is probably another reminder to all of us to SLOW DOWN AND BELT IN.
RELATED: NO SEAT BELTS USED IN ALMOST HALF OF POLICE LODD CRASHES:At least 42% of police officers killed in vehicle crashes over the past three decades were not wearing seat belts or other safety restraints. The study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which analyzed 733 crashes from 1980 through 2008, comes less than a week after a separate report found that fatal traffic incidents in 2010 were the leading cause of officer deaths for the 13th straight year.
