October 8, 2014

Hartford, CT – Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement today on the passing of Hartford firefighter Kevin Bell, a six-year veteran of the department who lost his life in the line of duty last night while battling a fire.

“My heart goes out to Kevin’s family, especially his wife and daughter. The brave men and women of the Hartford Fire Department put their lives on the line to protect the city and its residents. Kevin embodied what it means to be a member of the force, selflessly putting himself in harm’s way to save the lives of others. My thoughts and prayers are also with the three firefighters who were injured last night. Chief Huertas and the rest of the department deserve all of our support during this difficult time.”
