It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of one of our own, Technician Alex Graham from Engine Company 21. Our condolences are extended to his family and all who knew Alex.
Alex suffered a medical emergency on Thursday while at work at our training academy. Our members responded and began EMS care immediately. The staff and physicians at George Washington University Hospital battled alongside Alex, doing all that they could to improve his condition.
Alex passed away late this afternoon.
We will be by the side of Technician Graham's loved ones as we assist them with funeral arrangements. We will convey them to you as soon as possible.
We thank the community for their support during this difficult time.
