To the Boston Firefighters and the lovely family of Lt. Kevin Kelley, my family and I are praying and asking the Lord to Bless you and give you the strength to go on in life like Lt. Kelley would have wanted you to. It was an honor to meet Lt. Kelley and a few other brothers from Ladder 26.

One has to wonder. Would a seat belt have saved him? I have done this job for 23 years and I am surprised at the number of people we loose every year, because we are to cool to wear a seat belt?
Not a sermon, just a thought!
To the BFD, this is a horrible tragedy. Its extremely tough to loose a brother. I only knew him from Firehouse USA: Boston, but as a Boston native my heart goes out to the BFD. Our prayers down here also go out to the family and friends of Lt. Kevin Kelly.
God bless.
