Sen. Subramanyam, a volunteer EMT and certified firefighter in Loudoun County, issued the following statement:
I am devastated by the tragic loss of Firefighter Brown. My thoughts are with Trevor Brown’s family during this time. As someone who has volunteered in Loudoun as a firefighter and EMT, I know this is the risk taken by first responders every shift.
I thank the community members who have organized together to provide support for Brown and the injured firefighters, and I encourage all community members to donate to the Loudoun First Responders Foundation to help at this time.
Today I’ll be adjourning the Senate in Trevor Brown’s honor. He will be sorely missed, but his courage will never be forgotten and his memory will live on forever.
