North Kingstown Firefighters

We regret to announce the passing of former member William “Bill” Willett. Bill was a member of the North Kingstown Firefighters Association from our establishment until his retirement in 1990. After his retirement he remained an active part of the Retirees Association, attending many parades and various local events. Bill would even show up to Stations from time to time to have a cup a coffee with younger members and tell many stories about his time with the North Kingstown Fire Department.

The membership would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Bills family and friends as they mourn his loss.

Rest in peace Brother!

Celebrate the life of William Willett and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Professional Firefighters of Durham as they are dealing with the loss of one of their own who tragically lost their life in the line of duty, we are also hoping for a speedy recovery for injured members as well.

DURHAM FIREFIGHTER KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY

(DURHAM COUNTY, N.C) — The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation received a request for assistance from the City of Durham Fire Department regarding an early-morning structure fire. Around 3:15 AM today, a 911 call reported a fire at 410 Marly Dr., Durham, NC. The first fire truck arrived at 3:21 AM, and smoke and flames were visibly coming from the structure. Firefighters began their work, and additional units were en route.

The structure is a multi-story commercial building that appears to have been used as a residence. Firefighters made entry into the building and began battling the blaze. At 3:31 AM, a portion of the building’s roof collapsed, causing the second floor to collapse as well. Multiple firefighters were on the roof and inside on the first floor during the collapse. Several firefighters on the first floor were trapped. As a result, one of the firefighters was killed in the line of duty, and two others were injured. The two injured were taken to Duke Medical Center for treatment. All occupants evacuated the building before the fire department arrived and were not injured.

The SBI’s Arson Unit was requested to investigate the cause and origin of the fire and the circumstances of the fatality. The SBI has special agents on scene collecting evidence and investigating. The SBI will be the lead investigating agency for this event.

The following agencies responded and are working the event in some capacity:

— City of Durham Fire Department
— City of Durham Police Department
— Durham County EMS
— Durham County Sheriff’s Office
— Durham City/County Emergency Management
— Raleigh Fire Department
— ATF
— North Carolina OSFM
— SBI

This is an active and ongoing investigation, and additional information may be released by the SBI when available.

Our members a couple of nights ago assisted a rescue operation along with staff from the Mystic Aquarium. Our firefighters are always willing to help in any way we can. Even though one dolphin could not be saved this was a great team effort and we are glad we could be a part of it.



One dolphin dies, another released after rescue response in North Kingstown

One dolphin died and another was released after a high school student spotted the animals in distress in Bissell Cove, according the North Kingstown Fire Chief.
