Previous coverage of Scott Doyle’s injury

He suffered a head injury while BASE jumping in Idaho and there were successful efforts by firefighters in Boise and Maryland working to bring Firefighter Doyle to a hospital near his home. Firefighter Doyle died today. Here is the message sent earlier today from Chief Richard Bowers:

RIP Brother Doyle
Scott, you will be missed….
Rest in Peace Brother. you will always be in our hearts and minds. MCFRS family
“RIP BROTHER”!!! You will be greatly missed!
Couldn’t have asked for a better friend.
Bless you buddy.
RIP Brother!
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
Scott you are a good friend and will be missed deeply.
I was just catching up on some of my I-net reading and realized that I hadn’t checked Steph’s blog for a while. I had been checking ever since the story came out about Scott on the news in May. I even tried to secure a plane and pilot (I have a couple of connections) to get him back to this area. I have been a volunteer firefighter/EMT for 24 years in No. VA – my only connection. I never met Scott but like many others came to know about the trials and tribulations on an almost daily basis. I was shocked and extremely saddened to read the Nov. 18th posting. I will say a prayer for Scott tonight (never too late) and I hope Steph is staying strong as the holidays quickly approach. Pat the little four legged kids for me.
