From Chief Goldfeder
Bobby” Kilduff Jr was killed in the Line of Duty last night when a top-floor porch apparently gave way while he was operating.
Companies first responded to the fire at around 2000 hours for a "triple-decker" on Treadway Road, with heavy fire conditions.
“Firefighters had fire on all 3 floors … a great job to stop the fire from traveling to the adjacent homes,” BFD wrote on social media. They added that they used “multiple ground and aerial ladders to attack the fire.”
They knocked the fire, but a mayday was called after a Firefighter reportedly fell from the third-floor porch.
Robert "Bobby" T. Kilduff Jr., of Rescue Co. 2, a 3rd generation Firefighter, a Marine Veteran and Father of 2 adult children, suffered severe injuries in that fall and died in the Line of Duty from his injuries at Boston Medical Center despite the best efforts of Firefighters on scene, Boston EMS, and the hospital staff, Boston Fire Commissioner Rodney Marshall announced at a news conference around midnight. He had 24 years on the job.
Our condolences to all those affected. Rest In Peace.
