Milton Fire Local 1116

10/12/2026

We can’t believe it has been one year since we lost Firefighter Danio Thomas to occupational cancer.

Danio gave his all to this job and to the people he served, and he paid the ultimate price for that dedication. His courage, his heart, and the way he showed up for his brothers and sisters will stay with us always.

To Norma, Cicely, TJ, Darion, and Zaria, our love and blessings are with you today and every day. You are part of our family, and you will never stand alone.

Danio, you will never be forgotten. We carry your memory with us on every call, and we know you're watching over all of us.

Love you, brother.

Today, members of Local 1116 had the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder as we said goodbye to Firefighter BK Kilduff of Boston Firefighters Local 718 IAFF Our brothers and sisters traveled far and wide to pay their respects, not because it was required, but because that’s what family does.

This is what the Brotherhood and Sisterhood means.

It doesn’t matter what house you work out of, what city or town you serve, or what union hall you call home. When one of us falls, we all feel it. We run toward what others run from, and we do it knowing the people beside us would give everything for us, just as we would for them.

An amazing send off to an amazing man. Rest easy, brother.

With bitter cold, icy conditions, and heavy snowbanks, last night’s response was anything but easy. But through training, teamwork, and determination, Milton Firefighters got the job done.

When conditions are at their worst, preparation matters. Coordination matters. And trust in one another matters.

Proud of our firefighters who answered the call and proved, once again, that no matter the conditions, the residents of Milton come first.

Big shout out to our Brothers and Sisters from Randolph Firefighters Local 1268 Canton Firefighters IAFF Local 1580 and Friends Of Quincy Firefighters IAFF Local 792 who assisted us last night as well.

❄️🚒 Every second counts.

Please take a few minutes to shovel out fire hydrants in your neighborhood—at least 3 feet all the way around. Clear hydrants help firefighters respond faster when it matters most.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe! ❤️
