2 Bridgeport,CT Firefighters died in the line of duty yesterday

Final Alarm Bell sounded for Lt.Steven Velazquez and FF Micheal Baik yesterday. They were found on the top story of a 3 story frame structure by a R.I.T team after they sent out many mayday calls. Velazquez and Baik were the furthest into the house, performing search and rescue and ventilating. When a Bridgeport Chief got on scene, he reported heavy smoke coming from the 2nd and 3rd stories. The men were pronounced dead at the hospital. They did the jobs well and both loved the job and now they have been called home. Say a prayer for these men, their families and the Bridgeport Fire Dept. today.
Signal 5-5-5-5 has been transmitted.
