Firefighters put their lives on the line daily. They are there to protect life and property. We saw many of these brave individuals run into the World Trade Center on 09/11/2001, while everyone else was running away. Unfortunately, too many firefighters lose their lives protecting us.
This TB is intended to remember the fallen. Please drop it in a cache near a local fire department near where you live or while on travel. And don’t be afraid to tell a firefighter thank you for their service. Many of them volunteer their time.
Firefighter Chance Zobel, Columbia FD, SC
Incident Date: 11/13/2010
Date of Death: 11/13/2010
AGE: 23
Firefighter Zobel and his engine company were dispatched to a fire in the median of a local highway. When his company and another engine arrived on the scene, they positioned their apparatus in a shielding position to protect firefighters from traffic. As Firefighter Zobel and other firefighters were extinguishing the fire, a two-vehicle crash occurred on the highway behind the apparatus. The crash caused one of the vehicles to slide between the guardrail and one of the engines. The vehicle entered the fire scene and struck Firefighter Zobel and another firefighter. Both firefighters were transported to the hospital. Firefighter Zobel died due to traumatic injuries. Incident Location: I-20 near Clemson Road (near mile marker 81, USNG: 17S MT 1482 7341)
