It is with profound sadness that we announce the line-of-duty death of Fire Apparatus Engineer Daniel “Danny” Cook of the CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department.

Engineer Cook passed away earlier today while engaged in firefighting operations. His service, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Please keep his family, loved ones, and our fire department family in your thoughts.
