Fire Chiefs Shocking COVID Death Devastates Florida Community
A beloved fire chief in Florida has died after a weeks-long battle against COVID-19, sending shockwaves through the community and devastating a fire department that has been ravaged by the virus.
------------------
At one point there was ten people out at the same time battling COVID, department spokesman Austin Thomas told The Daily Beast.
The devastation within the department, where masking was not required in department living areas, as it was deemed simply unfeasible, serves as a stark reminder of the toll of COVID-19 on first responders.
---------------------
Burnham and McNeals vaccination status were not immediately clear, but the department spokesman said that Burnham was a fan of personal choice, and had also been behind a memo that said the department would help its employees get vaccinated in a state that has been resistant to requiring vaccines.
