WUSA-TV in Washington, DC (with assistance from CNN & WBAL-TV), has been kind enough to provide live streaming of the pool camera inside Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore during the funeral this morning for Firefighter Mark Falkenhan of the Lutherville Volunteer Fire Company in Baltimore County. Firefighter Falkenhan was killed last Wednesday during an apartment fire. The funeral is scheduled for 11:00 AM EST.

Thank you for the kind comments but the credit goes to WUSA-TV. I asked my former colleagues about the possibility late yesterday after learning from Baltimore County officials that there would be a pool camera allowed inside the church. They made it happen, along with help from WJZ-TV, WBAL-TV and CNN.
I got to watch quite a bit of it myself and was glad I did. Mark seemed like a pretty remarkable guy.

Mark was a remarkable man. Everything said was truth. The most committed and caring fire service instructor and firefighter I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and the privilege of learning under. He will be greatly greatly missed. Rest easy mark.

Thank you for sharing this and for letting the world see testament to what those of us in Mark’s family have always known — that he was a remarkable man with a special gift for touching people’s lives with his kindness, his courage, his skill as a teacher, and, of course, that beautiful smile of his.
