The U.S. Fire Administration has received notice of the following firefighter fatality:
Joshua MacDonald
Fire Investigator
Berthoud Fire Protection District
Berthoud, CO
________________________________
On March 25, 2016, Fire Investigator Joshua MacDonald responded to a residential fire where he performed EMS care on an occupant of the home. Later, he returned to investigate the scene of the fire, when he fell through the floor and his leg got caught in electrical wiring. Since that time, he had undergone numerous surgeries, to include the amputation of his leg. Fire Investigator Joshua MacDonald passed away on April 17, 2020.
Fire Investigation, please be careful out there. I know some are doubling up.
