BK with his Father and Grandfather

BK loved the job and our city, but more than anything, he loved his kids – Mason and Hanna Jane. Please keep them, his family and friends, and our Local 718 brothers and sisters, in your prayers. (3/3)

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best. For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Robert T. Kilduff who tragically killed in the line of duty tonight at a 3 alarm fire on Treadway Road. May he rest in peace and always be remembered.

A Boston firefighter was killed tonight when a porch gave way while he was fighting a three-alarm blaze in Dorchester, the Herald has learned. bostonherald.com/2026/05/23/bos…

Violence against first responders is unacceptable. Thankfully, our two Schenectady Local 28 members have been released from the hospital and are recovering at home after being assaulted while responding to a fire. The quick actions of the police led to charges being filed.

***CRITICAL INCIDENT UPDATE**

There is understandable concern about an explosion as one of the possible outcomes. OCFA Division Chief Nick Freeman and Dr. CK, the Orange County Health Officer, provide an operational and health care perspective on the evacuation zones that account for that possibility.

1) Chiefs Leeb & Goldfeder on the importance of Chief Officers knowing what they are doing on the fireground. Not the task-oriented stuff necessarily but the big picture stuff that will keep the members safe & operating effectively.

FIRE & COLLAPSE. Excellent video on why collapse zones are ordered at these types of buildings and why they must be respected. This is a 5th alarm this evening in Milwaukee, WI. #notourvid #firefighters #firefighter
