Buffalo Professional Firefighters Local 282 extends our deepest sympathy to our brothers and sisters at Boston Firefighters Local 718 IAFF for the loss of one of their own.
Rest in Peace FF Robert Kilduff Jr

Heartbroken over the loss of BK. An incredible Fire Fighter, proud Union Brother, and part of a family whose name is woven into the history of Rescue Company 2.

From his grandfather Vincent Kilduff’s line-of-duty death in 1971, to his father Bobby Kilduff Sr.’s sacrifice from occupational cancer, the Kilduff family gave so much to this job and the City of Boston. BK carried that legacy with pride every day he wore the shield.

Keeping the Kilduff family, Rescue Company 2, and all of his Brothers and Sisters in my thoughts today.

Rest easy, Brother. 🖤🚒
