On July 23, 2018 at approximately 0200hrs, Firefighter Nathan Flynn responded with Howard County Fire and Rescue crews to a residential fire that began after a reported possible lightning strike. When crews arrived, heavy smoke was visible and firefighters began an interior attack on the home. While inside, Firefighter Flynn fell through the floor and a Mayday was called. Firefighter Nathan Flynn was quickly removed by the Rapid Intervention Team and taken to Howard County General Hospital where he passed away as a result of his injuries.
Our condolences to the Flynn Family & Friends, Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services, and to all affected by Firefighter Nathan Flynn's passing.
To date, 55 firefighter fatalities have been reported to USFA in 2018. Year-to-date monthly and annual USFA firefighter fatality reports are posted online at U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) Fatality Notices page.
