The Deputy Chief of the Lawrence Park Township VFD (Erie County, PA) Mike Crotty, was tragically killed in the Line of Duty early this evening at a working industrial building fire. Companies were on the mutual aid run, for the working factory fire to the Harbor Creek VFD, when for a yet undetermined reason, the Lawrence Park aerial ladder had a catastrophic failure when a portion of the waterway and master stream separated from the main ladder, falling, striking the Deputy Chief, who was operating in a command role. Initial reports are that the device had a pinnable waterway and it was flowing water at the time of the failure.
We have also been advised that Chief Crotty was recently hired as a Career Firefighter for the nearby City of Erie, F.D.
Details will follow. Our sincere condolences to the members of the LPFVD, the HCVFD, the City of Erie FD but especially the family and friends of Deputy Chief Mike Crotty.
