The men and women of Atlantic City Firefighters FMBA Local 8 mourn the tragic passing of Firefighter Brokes of the Durham Fire Department, who lost his life while conducting interior firefighting operations at a commercial structure.

We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of the Durham Fire Department during this heartbreaking time. Our thoughts and prayers are with Firefighter Brokes’ family, friends, and fellow firefighters as they face this unimaginable loss.

The dangers of our profession are real, and the loss of one of our own is felt throughout the entire fire service. We honor Firefighter Brokes’ courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting others.

Rest easy, Brother. We’ll take it from here. 🚒

🖤 Atlantic City Firefighters FMBA Local 8

We are heartbroken to share that Firefighter Andrew Brokes died in the line of duty this morning while searching for victims inside the building at 410 Marly Drive.

Firefighter Brokes, who joined the Durham Fire Department on May 5, 2025, served the Durham community with dedication, courage, and a deep commitment to the residents of the Bull City.

“This is a heartbreaking loss for our department, the family, and the entire community,” said Durham Fire Chief Robert J. Zoldos II. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and his colleagues, and we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during this unimaginably difficult time. The department is standing with and supporting his family in every possible way.”

Two other firefighters were injured during the incident and were taken to Duke Medical Center. Both have received care and are expected to make full recoveries.

This loss is felt across our entire department. Firefighters step into unpredictable situations every day in service to others, and Firefighter Brokes embodied that calling with honor.

We know our community is grieving alongside us. If you wish to share your condolences or messages of support, they will be received with gratitude by our department and by those who knew and loved Firefighter Brokes.

In the coming days, we will share more information about how we will honor his service and support the firefighters involved in this incident.

Thank you, Durham, for surrounding our DFD family with care during this profoundly difficult time.

🇺🇸 25 YEARS LATER — WE REMEMBER. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember September 11, 2001 — a day that forever changed our nation.

We remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken that morning. We remember the families who lost husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends.

And we especially remember the public safety heroes who ran toward the danger while others were running away.

🚒 343 FDNY firefighters
🚓 37 Port Authority Police Officers
👮 23 NYPD officers
✈️ 8 EMTs and paramedics

The 343 FDNY brothers made the ultimate sacrifice. They answered the call, climbed those stairs, and put the lives of others before their own. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Twenty-five years later, we still carry their names, their families, and their sacrifice in our hearts.

We remember the lives.
We honor the heroes.
We support their families.
We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — 25 Years — NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

343 Brothers. One Brotherhood. Forever Remembered. 🚒🪖

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Ocean City Firefighter Kenny Po***ck after his courageous battle with cancer.

Kenny dedicated his life to serving others with honor, courage, and compassion. His loss is deeply felt throughout the fire service, especially by his family, friends, and the members of the Ocean City Fire Department.

Kenny was also the beloved brother of Atlantic City Battalion Chief Kyle Po***ck, and our thoughts are with Kyle and the entire Po***ck family during this incredibly difficult time.

Please join us in keeping the Po***ck family, Kenny’s friends, and his brothers and sisters in the fire service in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn this tremendous loss.

Rest easy, Kenny. Your watch is over. Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and the legacy you leave behind. 🚒🖤❤️
