Yeah that sucks

RIP, sir. Thank you for being one of the brave who ran in while all others were running out.

 

[Melnic]

Sorry to hear about this. Tragic

Looking forward to the NIOSH report. It will probably say the same things as the last two Maryland LODD reports dealing with FFs falling into basements (and it will have the same effect).

Very sad. That’s a common last name here in St Mary’s, I’m guessing that his passing affects a lot of people.

He was a career fighter on the base and also a volunteer in Leonardtown.

I pray for him and his family and friends, so sad anyone losing their life in a job.

To the department brothers & sisters it is a sad day

We watched the precession bring him back to Leonardtown from Baltimore today. I was telling my wife earlier I remember Brice as a baby faced quiet kid at 4h meetings and showing animals at the fair. His family is very involved in the volunteer fire department. His older brother is also paid a firefighter. Very good people, very sad.

There was a loooooonnnnnngggggg funeral procession on the inner loop of the East side (Southbound) of the DC beltway on Wednesday afternoon. Could this have been his?

There was a large procession that brought him from the medical examiner’s office in Baltimore back to Saint Mary’s county yesterday.
If the procession you saw had a lot of emergency vehicles in it that was the one for Firefighter Trossback.

TJI floor joists??

probably not on a house that old, but I do question the fire commander decision why he had firefighters in that house when everyone was accounted for.

I don't know enough about firefighting to pass blame, but I wonder that myself.
