Fallen Fire Fighter Thomas Petschke Jr

On behalf of the Petschke Family, we are gathering funds for the family's expenses due to the tragic loss.

It is with profound sorrow that we share the devastating news of the line of duty death of our member, Sgt. Thomas Petschke, Jr. Sgt. Petschke tragically suffered a medical emergency while working at a fire scene on 11/11. He dedicated his life to selflessly serving the citizens of our community.

Sgt. Petschke was an exceptional firefighter and a cherished member of our department. His dedication, courage, and unwavering commitment to public safety were an inspiration to all who had the privilege of working alongside him. We ask that you keep Sgt. Petschke and his family in your hearts during this difficult time. Our thoughts also extend to the firefighters who served alongside him as they cope with the loss of one of their own.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from the community.

Sgt. Petschke's memory will forever live on in our hearts.

Thank you,

Chief Fante
