Today, January 31, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. A press conference was held to share information about the loss of Captain Max Fortuna. Stockton Fire Chief Richard Edwards shared the following statement:

“This morning at approximately 4:45 a.m. the Stockton Fire Department’s Emergency Communications Division received a 911 call for a dumpster fire in the area of Washington and Aurora Streets. Engine 2 arrived on the scene a short time later and found a dumpster fire impinging on a structure. As firefighters were extinguishing the fire, gunshots were heard, and the Fire Captain of Engine 2 had been struck. Firefighters quickly transitioned to providing EMS care and transported him to the hospital.

I’m devastated to report that Veteran Fire Captain Max Fortuna has succumbed to his injuries. Captain Fortuna served the City of Stockton for 21 years and leaves behind a wife and two grown children. I ask you to keep Captain Fortuna’s family and the Stockton Fire Department family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

Had a great call tonight. Two young ladies brought their kitten into the fire station. The kitten, “Milk,” had gotten it’s head out of a plastic crate and was the plastic was wedged around it’s neck.

With help from all, we were able to cut the crate from around it’s neck and free it without any injury. The sweet kitten even seemed calmed the more we worked to get her free.

We didn’t get any before pictures, but here of some pictures of the happy kitten, family and crew.
