Michael Kenwood, EMT with the Princeton (NJ) First Aid & Rescue Squad is one of seven who died in NJ during Irene. He died late Sunday night, August 28 from injuries sustained while attempting to reach a car submerged in the water. RIP Michael. The Times of Trenton has an article about Michael's death. My condolences go out to Michael's family, friends, colleagues and all who loved him.
I had embedded the audio feed the announcement of Michael's passing by the Mercer County Communications Center for about 20 hours. For those of you who want to listen to this feed, it may be found here.
At the time of this writing (8/30/11), there are six others who have died in NJ as a result of Irene. And some 30 +/- other deaths attributed to Irene up and down the east coast. I would like to offer my condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of all those whose deaths are attributed to Irene.

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
