Terrible tragedy out of Montgomery County with the death on the job of firefighter Chris Higgins.  He was 46 year old and served with love for 23 years.  

Firefighters have a life expectancy that is 10 years less than the average person. They are always in dangerous situations and always exposed to toxic chemicals.  Police officers also have a life expectancy around 10-12 years less than the average person.  This is why they “retire” so “young.”  And this is also why they have labor unions to make sure that they are protected on the job when it comes to time off, retirement security, pay, health care and other on the job protections.

We send our love and condolences to the family of firefighter Higgins.  ❤️
