About Emergency Traffic

Where we explore the tragic Line of Duty Deaths of Firefighters and Paramedics, to learn from these incidents. We will try to produce two of these podcasts monthly. These podcasts are brief Synopsys of the events we have obtained from official reports and published stories. We wanted to provide an easy and convenient method for today’s firefighters to quickly learn lessons of past LODD’s and possibly prevent them from happening again.

   Episode #107 Baltimore Maryland Oct 2023 Row House

   In October of 2023, Baltimore firefighters responded to a working fire at an occupied row house. While firefighters entered the first floor, fire from the burning back porch extended into the first floor living area trapping two firefighters in a rapidly growing fire, overwhelming the crew resulting in a rescue and subsequent fatal injuries, due in part to the failure of the PPE and "older" SCBA they were wearing.

   In September 2025, Dekalb Cnty. GA Firefighters responded to a local warehouse for reports of a fire from neighbours.
