It is with profound sadness that I announce the deaths of two of Philadelphia firefighters who perished early this morning in the line of duty during a five alarm fire. These firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice for the people of Philadelphia. This is a tremendous loss for their families and the City of Philadelphia. My prayers go out to their families and to the Philadelphia Fire Department whose members have lost two of their brothers.
My thoughts also go out to the firefighters and the families of those who were injured in the line of duty this morning. We are grateful that they are receiving the top medical care available.
Our first responders—our fire fighters, police officers and paramedics—are heroes and make unimaginable sacrifices each and every day for the citizens of Philadelphia. I would like to thank them for their service and our hearts go out to those who have lost their colleagues and friends.
