Statement on the Passing of Two Buffalo Firefighters

Congressman Brian Higgins issued the following statement in response to the death of two Buffalo fighters:

“Every day our firefighters enter the most dangerous of situations and selflessly, with little fanfare or recognition, go to work doing what many would never consider.  Today two of our bravest, Lt. McCarthy and Firefighter Croom, paid the ultimate sacrifice as they kept guard over this city.  We are inspired by their bravery, grieving for their families and profoundly grateful for their service to this community.”
