Fallen Firefighter
Yesterday morning, Denver Fire Dept lost one of it's own.
Lt. Rich Montoya was taken off of life support, due to a heart attack that he apparently suffered while battling a house fire, a week ago last Monday.
Lt. Montoya was a 30 year veteran and was scheduled to retire in July. He was only 15 shifts shy of this retirement.
My Dept. works closely with the DFD and we too, feel their loss.

Rest easy LT, we've got the watch.

Rest in Peace, brother.
I may be part of the funeral as a member of a consolidated Honor Guard. Will be hard to keep from crying.
