Duty Death: Brian J. Munz - [Fairbury, Illinois]


By FireRescue1 Staff

FAIRBURY, Ill. — An Ill. firefighter died Tuesday when the first-floor of a burning residence collapsed, trapping him in the basement.

According to a U.S. Fire Administration report, Firefighter Brian J. Munz, of the Fairbury, Ill., Fire Department, was among several crews that responded to the structure fire call in Forest.

Firefighter Munz was working on an interior attack in the basement, where the fire started. The first floor of the two-story wood-frame residence collapsed, trapping him.

His fellow firefighters were unable to rescue him and he was transported to a nearby medical center, but did not survive his injuries.
