Our hearts are incredibly heavy today as we mourn the loss of two extraordinary members of the Lakeville Fire Department, John Neglia and Bill Watson.
When a community loses a firefighter, it loses a protector, a neighbor, and a hero. To lose two is an unimaginable tragedy. They put their lives and comfort on the line for our families daily, and their legacy of service will forever be woven into the fabric of Lakeville.
Please keep their families and the entire Lakeville Fire Department family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you for your service. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Rest easy, brothers. We have the watch from here.
