Rest in Peace, FF Pitts
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Firefighter Rodney Pitts. Rodney succumbed to injuries sustained on yesterday’s fire in the 5200 Blk of Linden Heights Ave. Rodney graduated the Baltimore City Fire Academy in July.

Rest in peace, FF Pelt.
We take an oath to protect lives and property. Brother Pelt was doing just that this morning when he made the ultimate sacrifice for his city. We mourn with the Pelt family, and our brothers and sisters, especially our members of Engine Company 75. #LODD #local2atwork

Rest in Peace, Officer Becerra. Died in the line of duty protecting the city where my oldest daughter lives.
The Fountain Police Department says officer Julian Becerra died Saturday night, nine days after he was injured falling off a bridge while trying to detain three suspects out of Pueblo. krdo.com/top-stories/2023/02…

I always thought Anasazi was the legit name for the people that lived in that area, I guess not. Very interesting thread.
We've been wanting to share this info from the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center centered around the outdated term Anasazi. We refrain from using this term and want to educate people on why it's a controversial term that should be avoided.
Huge respect for Baltimore City Fire and for all the surrounding departments that are helping them out.
This is winning. Way to go BCFD. The support is unprecedented ❤️

We often hear of firefighter fatalities and think of them in the abstract because we never knew the person behind the badge. Here's a glimpse.of the guy St. Louis lost the other day.
Firefighter Ben Polson had some serious dance moves. Graduation at @STLFireDept - a night his friends and colleagues will always remember. #lodd

Tragic. Every fire department faces this, vacant bldgs are always in crappy condition and always occupied. Rest In Peace, FF Polson.

Amazing.
Counting rivets at 350 knots 🔩 During the Diamond Pass in Review, our jets can be as close as 18” apart while traveling at almost 400 miles per hour! Definitely close enough to start counting rivets from the perspective of Thunderbird 4! ✈️
