3 Firefighters Killed In The Line of Duty-Mudslide, 1 Firefighter Missing

The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com   

 

It is with deep regret that we advise you that 3 Firefighters of the Civilian Defense of the State of Rio de Janiero were killed in the Line of Duty today when their fire apparatus was caught by a mudslide. It happened while responding to rescue operations in the city of Nova Friburgo. Another Firefighter is reported missing.

The death toll reaches 61 people because of heavy rains that triggered landslides and destroyed buildings in towns in the mountainous area ("Região Serrana") near the city of Rio de Janeiro. Yesterday, mudslides and floods killed at least 13 in Sao Paulo state and caused traffic chaos in Brazil's biggest city. We'll post more later. As always our sincere condolences to all affected.
