Local fire agencies are working to assist out-of-state first responders who are traveling to pay their respects to fallen Hanover County Fire Lt. Brad Clark this week.
Lt. Clark, 43, of Mechanicsville, was killed Thursday when a tractor-trailer rear ended his crew’s fire truck on I-295 while responding to a two-vehicle accident.
Three other firefighters were injured; one had minor injuries and was released. Two other firefighters were taken to the hospital for their injuries and have undergone multiple surgeries. Monday morning a spokesman for Hanover County Fire & EMS said one of the firefighters was in stable condition, the other was in stable, but serious condition.
On the Metro Richmond Fire Incidents Facebook page organizers posted asking for any fire stations with open beds to contact them.
This would allow out-of-town visitors for Lt. Clark’s funeral to stay overnight for one or two nights.
