MEMORIALS
Brent A.
Lovrien

Brent died from injuries he
received when he went to investigate smoke in the
Westchester area of Los Angeles. He was a ten year veteran
of the LAFD assigned to the 'A' Platoon of Fire Station 95
since October 2005. As dictated by Fire Department policy, a
formal and detailed multi-agency investigation is underway
to determine the exact nature of the explosion, as well as
the precise cause and manner of Firefighter Lovrien's death.
Our prayers are with the Lovrien family, and we thank Brent
for giving the greatest, most unselfish gift. May God watch
over him and all who risk their lives daily. And we keep
Engineer Anthony Guzman in our prayers as well as the
members of LAFD Fire Station 95 and the entire Los Angeles
Fire Department Family. The whole firefighting Family is
extended our deepest sympathies at this time.
