From The Secret List ....

UPDATE: HOUSTON DOUBLE LINE OF DUTY DEATH

A CAPTAIN & A PROBIE LOSE THEIR LIVES IN A WORKING HOUSE FIRE
The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com

The fallen Houston Firefighters who died in the Line of Duty this morning have been identified as Capt. James Harlow, 50, and Damien Hobbs, 29. Captain Harlow has been on the job since 1979. Hobbs was a probationary firefighter who graduated from the HFD Academy in March. HFD responded on this 1st alarm, a 4000 square foot house fire just after midnight and initiated an interior operation,...the homeowners, an elderly couple, had made it out of the house safety. Reports are that it looked like they were getting a good knock on the fire when fire conditions changed drastically. The 2 Firefighters were found in the house around 0130 and while life saving measures were initiated, they could not be saved.

Additional details to follow.
My sincere condolences to the Houston Fire Department, the Harlow and Hobbs families.

Rest peacefully in the arms of the angels, James and Damien.

Very rough time for HFD. I feel for you guys and gals with the truck crash, the death of the civilian, and now this.

Keep your chin up, you have support from all across the globe. You are in my thoughts and prayers as well as the families too.

RIP Brothers.
