It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we grieve the loss and injuries sustained by brave firefighters from the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department and Kootenai County Fire & Rescue who were met with unthinkable violence while answering the call to protect and serve their community. We stand in solidarity with their families, colleagues, and the entire emergency services community. At NAEMT, we also keep our President, Chris Way, Fire Chief of Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, in our thoughts. 

We honor their service. We grieve their sacrifice. And we will never forget their bravery.
