– Tim LewisI am a firefighter. I never met him but my heart broke today as I read about his dedication to service and how he passed. I am studying the report today, and whatever I can find about the incident so we can prevent anything like this from happening again. My heart goes out to the family. We will honor your sacrifice by educating ourselves and doing better. Rest in peace, brother.
