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.
