These shoes belonged to fallen Durham Firefighter Andrew Brokes. They remain in the very place where he last stood before stepping onto Tower 5 and heading out to what would become his final call.

There is something profoundly heartbreaking about knowing that an ordinary moment would be the last time a firefighter stood in that spot before answering the call to serve. He went to work prepared to answer the call of duty, never knowing how that call would change so many lives forever.

This morning, we continue to lift the entire Durham Fire Department, the Alamance Public Safety family, and the Brokes family in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for strength in the moments when words fall short, comfort in the midst of unimaginable grief, and peace for all those carrying the weight of this loss.

Some calls are never forgotten. Some sacrifices leave an everlasting mark. And some heroes leave behind a legacy that will never fade.

Rest in honor, Firefighter Brokes. Your service will never be forgotten.

A big thank you to Summit Engine Company for generously donating mums to bring a touch of fall to the landscaping in front of South River Police Headquarters! We'd also like to thank South River Public Works for planting them and helping keep our headquarters looking its best. We appreciate your continued support and partnership!

Just a little history lesson for anyone who wondered why a particular week in October is designated "Fire Prevention Week "

Fire Prevention Week originated to commemorate the tragic Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which started on October 8 and did most of its devastating damage on October 9.

Historical Timeline

• 1871 (October 8–9): The Great Chicago Fire kills more than 250 people, leaves 100,000 homeless, and destroys over 17,400 structures.
• 1911: On the 40th anniversary, the Fire Marshals Association of North America (FMANA) sponsors the first National Fire Prevention Day to focus on education rather than just mourning.
• 1922: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) begins sponsoring the public observance, expanding it from a single day into a full week.
• 1925: President Calvin Coolidge proclaims the first national observance of Fire Prevention Week, making it the longest-running public health and safety observance in the United States.

Why October 9?

Even though the historic fire started on October 8, October 9 was chosen because it was the day when the majority of the catastrophic destruction occurred. Today, the week containing October 9 is observed annually with specific safety themes.
