Early Morning Wreck Claims Life Of Off-Duty Firefighter
June 22, 2024
An off-duty firefighter was killed in a single vehicle crash early Saturday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the 27-year-old man was traveling south on a Highway 87 approaching the intersection with County Road 87A when his 2016 Ford F-150 let the roadway for an unknown reason just after 2:30 a.m.. The pickup truck then collided with a drainage ditch and a utility pole.
There were no other vehicles involved.
The driver, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The victim’s name has not been released.
He was a career firefighter for Escambia County Fire-Rescue and a volunteer for the Jay Volunteer Fire Department.

Knowing who his family is this just breaks my heart in so many pieces I just pray that when folks comments on this will be respectful, he was so young and worked hard to get the badge he wore so proudly. To his family PLEASE know y’all are in my deepest prayers and deepest thoughts and to his fire department family my prayers are for all of you as well, words can’t ease no pain, but I am forever truly sorry for y’all’s loss of a great young man and a wonderful leader. I pray God will give each one of y’all the strength and comfort as yall start to heal from this….he came to my need of help twice and each time told me everything was ok. Sending my love and prayers for the entire family
God have mercy on this family.
