ARSON IN TOLEDO - 2 FIREFIGHTERS DEAD

[HairOfTheDog]

RIP Stephen Machcinski and James Dickman

The Toledo Blade reports more than 5,000 people filled the convention center, including firefighters and law enforcement officials from across the nation. Toledo Battalion Chief John Kaminski said “there are no words that can express the sadness in our hearts.” However, he pointed out that although it was a somber occasion, it was also a “celebration of their life and service.”

James Dickman leaves behind a wife and two young children. Stephen Machinski was single and dedicated to the force.


(Note: Mr. Dickman's name was originally reported incorrectly as "Dickham")
