IAFF Local 2543 mourns the loss of our brother firefighter of the Butler County Fire Protection District, who made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday while responding to a grass fire when his apparatus was involved in a rollover accident.

Our hearts are with his family, his department, and the entire Butler County fire service during this incredibly difficult time.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers at Butler County Fire Protection District.

Rest easy, brother. We have it from here.
