USFA LODD: Florida Firefighter On-Duty Death Notification 04.27.2019

On April 14, 2019, while on-duty at the fire station, Firefighter/EMT Brad Gregrich, 30, complained to his co-worker that he wasn’t feeling well, with a headache and feeling tired. The next morning, returning home after his shift, Firefighter/EMT Gregrich was still ill.  His wife transported him to the hospital.  The hospital then released him after an evaluation.  He returned home but became unresponsive and 9-1-1 was called. He was rushed back to the hospital where he suffered a major stroke and never regained consciousness.  He passed away at the hospital on Saturday, April 27, 2019.

Our condolences to the Gregrich Family & Friends, Desoto County Fire Rescue, and to all affected by Firefighter John Leming’s passing.
