Fire Apparatus Operator
Jesse Bricker died as a result of cardiac arrest that was
exacerbated by stress and smoke inhalation that occurred while
fighting a fourth alarm motel fire. After returning from the
fire, FAO Bricker complained of not feeling well. He was
transported to the hospital that morning at 5:56a.m. in severe
respiratory distress. He died at approximately 4:38 pm. Other
personnel also suffered from various symptoms as a result of
exposure to fire and smoke. The following day, an environmental
consultant was directed to sample and analyze the scene and
clothing worn by firefighters.
