It is with deep regret that we pass on to you initial details regarding yesterdays Line of Duty Death of Borodino (Onondoga County, NY) Firefighter Gerard Marcheterre.
Initial reports are that FF MArcheterre was on the apparatus, responding to a structural collapse in the nearby Spafford FD's response area. While responding, FF Marcheterre was having difficulty breathing. They relayed this information to fire dispatch via cell phone because there isn't a mobile radio installed in the rescue pumper-as the county is apparently transitioning radio systems. They requested an ambulance meet them at Spaffords firehouse. A few minutes later they arrived and Spafford's firehouse advised Onondoga County Fire Dispatch to have EMS to expedite as it was now a full arrest. As always, our sincere condolences to all affected.
