Fatal Apartment Fire with Injured Firefighter
|
|
I'm not sure if other departments know
how it is to have one of your own injured in doing a job that we love to do,
whether you are career or volunteer. It is difficult for us at
Morningside.
Tim Omerod, a Career member of our
department, was injured on the scene of a Apartment Fire on Donnell Place
early this morning.
Tim, along with his partner Chris were
two of the six personnel riding on this morning blaze. Captain Lyon,
Lt. Hansen, F/F's P Burley, Nelis and Symore were with them.
Tim was airlifted to MedStar Burn
Center after the incident and looks to be in good shape at this point.
On behalf of Chief Hendley, President
Phillips, The Officers, Board and members of the Morningside Volunteer Fire
Department, Inc., we want to wish Tim, his fiancé' Beth, his family and
friends the best and let him know that he is in our prayers everyday and
that we can't wait until he comes through our doors for duty again.
