Normally I encourage your comments and in most cases welcome them.
Out of respect for the tragic death of Firefighter Kevin Bell and his family as well as the other firefighters injured last night, I would ask that you refrain from comments regarding HFD or its "leaders".
If you sent a comment this morning and are wondering why they aren't being posted, I am holding them back. Let's get through the grieving process and show our respect for our first responders. Including our firefighters , police officers and EMT's who worked so valiantly as a team yesterday to save a life. To the EMT's who worked over an hour and a half trying to revive Firefighter Bell, to HPD who blocked intersections along the ambulance route to Saint Francis to facilitate a quick response to the trauma center and foremost to Firefighters who were in a building that most of us would have run from.
Yes, there are problems but now is not the time to focus on them. Let the investigation proceed and see what the results are. If changes need to be made , so be it, but in the meantime , respect the brave first responders that our on our streets for us day in and day out.
I will save any information I receive and post it at the appropriate time in the future.
RIP Firefighter KEVIN BELL. My heart with his family, HFD and all Hartford residents. Rest In Peace.

ReplyDeleteThe Homegoing Service in honor of Kevin Bell today was beautiful. It was a fitting tribute which he well deserved. His family will be held in our thoughts and prayers. I would also request that your readers keep Jason Martinez in their prayers. He is still recovering from his injuries in the burn unit at Bridgeport Hospital. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.
