EMT/Firefighter
Salt River FD
Scottsdale, AZ
Age: 24
End of Service: 04/08/2022
Circumstances: Ambulance Crash
Like his passion for hockey, his pursuit of a career in fire science and EMS was inspired by his father. Brendan worked for Sierra Vista Fire Department, was a reserve for the Globe Fire Department, and then transferred to Salt River Fire Department in early 2022, where “Bess” set a course record — two minutes under the previous — in the skills course. He will be missed on family vacations with his best friend/sister, parents, and many extended family relatives. His life can be described as it was by his former coach who stated, “although his stint with the team was short, his impact on [its] success during that time was very noticeable.”
