The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com

We regret to pass on to you that a 26-year-old female Firefighter (and brand new Mom who just had a baby about a month ago) died in the Line of Duty this morning in Fulton Township, Lancaster County, PA. Christi Rodgers, 26, was a volunteer Firefighter with the Robert Fulton Fire Company in Wakefield, http://www.513rffc.com/ .

She was was home when her pager went off to respond to the house fire at 394 Pilottown Road. While turning out, she went into cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The fire was dispatched around 0453 Hours-it is near the Maryland border.

"The two-story dwelling was fully involved when we got there," Assistant Chief Dan Appel

said. "Flames were 40 feet in the air." About 50 firefighters from Lancaster, Chester in PA, and Harford and Cecil counties in Maryland worked together to put out the blaze.

It was declared under control around 6:45 a.m. Our condolences to all those affected. RIP.
