FDNY Line of Duty Death
November 15, 2000 - LODD
Firefighter Kenneth W. Kerr, 44
New York City Fire Department. Brooklyn, New York
Firefighter Kerr and members of his engine company had just returned from fighting a stubborn fire in an elevator cab in a six-story building. At the scene, Firefighter Kerr told other firefighters that he did not feel well but refused medical aid. When his company returned to quarters, Firefighter Kerr spent some time with other firefighters in the kitchen and then headed for the shower. He was found collapsed in the shower by other firefighters. Medical treatment was administered immediately by other firefighters, but Firefighter Kerr died of a heart attack.
RIP. Never forget
