Boston Fire Dept. Engine-37 & Ladder-26

Before i went to Fenway Park I stopped at the Huntington Ave Station in Boston. As i was leaving E37/L26 caught a run for a box.

-On 1/9/09 Lt. Kevin Kelly from Ladder-26 passed away in the line of duty when the truck hit a building just down the street from the station. May he rest in peace, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of Lt. Kelly. I have visited this station quite a few times. But i never had the privelage to meet Lt. Kelly but as a fellow firefighter it hits home.

Unfortunatley today (1/9/2009) Ladder 26 was involved in an accident by going down a hill and going through the front of a building. Even more unfortunate news, the Officer on Ladder 26 was killed in the accident.

Rest In Peace, Brother.

@colepre4849 The ladder was going down a hill responding to a call. The brakes failed and the truck hit the building at the bottom of the hill. As sad as it is that LT Kelly died, and that is very sad, it could have been much worse. Inside the building, which was brick and fortunately held, were several small children attending some classes. They received some cuts and minor injuries, but all were ok. RIP Lt Kelly.
