It is with deep regret that the Quincy, MA FD and IAFF Local 792 announce the Line of Duty Death of Firefighter John Austin, on July 8, 2013. Arrangements are forthcoming.
On a personal note, John was a friend, having been a student in my EMT course in Spring of 2012. He was a very funny guy who understood the seriousness of things, yet could always find a way to lighten the mood. I would have trusted him with my life, and I know many of the members of QFD that did just that. My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and the QFD. Rest in Peace John, your tour is done.
