LODD EMS Crash, 7th FF LODD, Odd Details: FF Death, YO! CPR (The Secret List)

It is with regret that we advise you that today at 1220 hours, there was a fatal two-vehicle fatal crash on Route 20 near the intersection of Route 699 in Buckingham County, VA. The EMT driving the ambulance was killed and two others were seriously injured when the ambulance and cement-mixing truck collided. The EMT and patient riding in the back of the ambulance were flown to UVA Hospital in Charlottesville. The driver of the cement mixer was not injured in the crash. As always our sincere condolences to all affected.

 

 

The inmate/Firefighter who died after a fire training exercise at Camp San Luis Wednesday has been identified as Crisanto Leo Lionell, 54. Lionell was participating in a training exercise for inmate firefighters when he lost consciousness and was pronounced dead after he was transported to the hospital. Lionell had been serving an 11-year prison sentence at California Men’s Colony since February 2010 for transportation and possession of controlled substances. CDCR and CAL FIRE will be conducting a review of the incident. RIP

 

 

Many of the wildfires burning out of control in Patagonia were set intentionally, and the government blamed a Mapuche Indian group that has long struggled to regain its ancestral lands for starting the fire that has now killed 7 Firefighters in the Line of Duty. The body of the seventh firefighter killed while trying to contain a blaze on the property of the Mininco Forestry company was recovered early Friday. Shifting winds caused flames to sweep over a group of Chilean firefighters on Thursday, killing now 7 of them, and badly burning two others. RIP

 

 

A Michigan state trooper investigating the death of an Ann Arbor Firefighter on a Detroit-area interstate says it might not have been an accident. FF Dan Armitage was struck in the middle of the right lane, not close to the bad tire even if he had fallen backward. It initially appeared that FF Armitage was trying to remove a tire when he was struck and killed by other cars yesterday on Interstate 696 in Farmington Hills. But Trooper Paul Shunia says the tire had lost air but wasn’t flat and the tire jack was still in the vehicle. Initial reports are that he was changing a flat tire-but now that is being discounted.

MSP Trooper Shunia says that FF Armitage was struck however witnesses told police that the victim was flat on the ground before he was struck.
