In The Line of Duty
Sadly the department has had two LODD's over the years. In 1956 Firefighter Rudy Lutz suffered a heart attack while working at the scene of a leaf fire. Tragedy struck once again in 1966 when Second Assistant Chief John Bresnahan died of a heart attack he suffered while at the scene of a barn fire at the Park School of Buffalo. Both of these fallen hero's equipment numbers have been retired by the department and plaques in their honor hang in the firehouse.

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or duty:
“It may be the more
That no line of her writing have I,
Nor a thread of her hair,
No mark of her late time as dame in her dwelling, whereby
I may picture her there.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Duties are not performed for duty’s sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty—the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
