Charles Fitzpatrick

Fireman Charles Fitzpatrick, age 40, of the Edinburgh Fire & Rescue in Edinburgh, IN, was responding to an alarm, when his vehicle collided with Chief James Breeding’s vehicle at an intersection. Fireman Fitzpatrick died from the injuries he sustained twelve hours later at an Indianapolis hospital. The call that they were responding to was a false alarm.

This firefighter line of duty fatality occurred before the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial was built in Emmitsburg, Maryland. While this firefighter has not been officially honored at the Memorial site, there are plans to do so when resources are available.
