Hero firefighter saved the lives of 2 people just hours before he died in horror blaze
2026-06-02
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Robert Kilduff of Rescue Company Two responded to a raging three-alarm fire at 18 Treadway Road in Dorchester on Saturday night, when he plummeted from a third-story window.

Kilduff suffered critical injuries in the blaze and was rushed to Boston Medical Center, where he later died, according to Boston Fire Commissioner Rodney Marshall.

Known to loved ones as 'BK' and 'Bobby,' Kilduff rescued two people in the last 48 hours of his life.

The hero saved a young girl who tried to jump off a building in Fenway and rescued a homeless man stuck at a Boston transit yard, Boston Fire Lt Greg Kelly said.

Kilduff had been fending off fires for over 20 years, and is the first Boston firefighter in more than a decade to die in the line of duty.

He is remembered as 'the heart of the firehouse,' with colleagues saying he was selfless, in an emotional press conference.
