| The Firefighter who Died in the Line of Duty last night was 19-year-old Brandon Little of Adam's County's United Hook and Ladder Fire Company # 33. Adams County is just north of Emmitsburg, MD. Firefighter Little was killed after crashing his personal vehicle while responding on a fire call. Around 1740 hours, the 19-year-old Volunteer Firefighter turned of for that fire call when he lost control of his Jeep Grand Cherokee outside of Abbottstown. His Jeep went through a post and a rail fence, and slammed into a tree. Speed is believed to be a factor and he was ejected.
