Colonial Beach Volunteer Fire Department shared The 350' Line's post.

3 days ago

This is by far the most difficult post we could ever imagine making. As many of you know, last night at approximately 2100 hours, we lost one of the best guys we've ever known, a founding board member of this group and a brother who spent as much time as possible in service to others.

Hanover County Fire-EMS Department Lieutenant Brad Clark was killed in the line of duty at the scene of a crash on I-295 when a tractor trailer traveling on the interstate struck the fire engine Brad was the officer on after it had stopped, with all of its emergency equipment activated, to assist with a two-vehicle crash. Two other Hanover-Fire EMS Firefighters were also injured and were transported to the hospital with critical injuries.

Our hearts are empty today with this loss and, frankly, we are at a loss for words. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting Brad at a conference, attended one of his classes or otherwise interacted with him, you know that Brad never met a stranger and was always the life of whatever room he was in with his outgoing personality, constant smile and quick (and constant) jokes.

Memorial arrangements are still being made and once finalized will be shared on this page. We also will soon be announcing a raffle with some substantial prizes that have already been generously donated that will benefit Brad's family as he left behind a wife and children.

Thanks to all those who have already reached out to express your condolences, it is much appreciated. Together, we will mourn, together we will remember Brad and together we will continue to move forward because Brad would never want it any other way.

Family and friends, we would like to ask for your prayers of healing for our Firefighter/President, Randy Feltner. Yesterday afternoon, Randy was working his career job at Naval District Washington (NDW)/Dahlgren meeting daily PT requirements at the gym. Randy collapsed and coded. He suffered a major heart attack. Several of his co-workers were at the gym with him and they were able to start CPR and utilize the gym's AED quickly. Because of their quick actions, they were able to revive and transport him to MWH, where, by the grace of God, he is awake and joking with his wife, Katie, this morning!!! Randy had been experiencing symptoms of a possible heart problem for over a week but passed it off as just indigestion, being stressed and just tired. Randy is an incredibly lucky man. He is only 38, has a precious 3 year old daughter, a wife of almost 15 years and a truly wonderful family. A direct quote from his surgeon was, "Had he not been where he was and his fellow firefighters/medics not able to activate the AED, Mr. Feltner would NOT have survived". We are incredibly grateful that what could've been a tragedy is instead a miracle! Folks, we truly appreciate your prayers for Randy's continuing recovery. PLEASE take away from this incident that you should NEVER underestimate the signs of a possible heart problem. Always go with "better safe than sorry"!!! ... See MoreSee Less
