FROM: FIRE CHIEF P. MICHAEL FREEMAN
SUBJECT: LINE OF DUTY DEATH
With deepest regret and sadness I am informing you of the loss of two of our fellow firefighters in the Line of Duty. Fire Captain Tedmund “Ted” Hall and Fire Firefighter Specialist Arnaldo “Arnie” Quinones were assigned to the ‘Station Fire Incident’.
Today Ted and Arnie lost their lives during extreme fire activity when Camp 16 was overrun with fire. They along with their vehicle were found several hundred feet over the side of the road.
The Board of Supervisors, with President Dave Gillotte of Local 1014 and I, pass along our deepest condolences and sympathy to their families. I have assigned members of the Department to ensure proper care and support for the respective families.
Until further notice, all flags shall be flown at half staff. More information will follow as it becomes available.

"County Recurrent" extends its thoughts and Prayers to our fallen comrades and their families and loved ones. May they rest in peace.
