In Memory of F/F Augusto Acabou & F/F Wayne Brooks Jr.

There is a special kind of pain that is experienced by the family & friends of those who die serving others.

Their loved ones sacrifice themselves for the good of the communities they serve.

It is a conscious choice made when they take the oath of office. All firefighters know that the ultimate sacrifice may be asked of them.

When it happens, the community is shocked. The quiet guardians are noticed for a moment. Then the news cycle changes & the family and friends are left w/a huge void.

The fallen brothers can never be forgotten by those who have experienced fighting fires.

Rest peacefully my brothers.

May your sacrifice be acknowledged by the city you served.

May your family be cared for by the brotherhood you belonged to.
