The U.S. Fire Administration has received notice of the following
firefighter fatalities:
Name: Barry M. Bennett
Rank: Lieutenant
Age: 49
Gender: Male
Status: Career
Years of Service: 18
Date of Incident: 10/15/1987
Date of Death: 11/02/2003
Fire Department Name: Cambridge Fire Department
Fire Department Address: 491 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138
Fire Department Phone: 617-349-4944
Fire Department Web site: www.cambridgefire.org
Fire Department Chief: Gerald R. Reardon
Cause of Death: Firefighter Bennett was inadvertently punctured by a
needle while rendering assistance at a medical emergency on October 15,
1987. The Cambridge Fire Department responds to approximately 10,000 such
medical emergencies each year. The injury was reported immediately and
he
began a course of medical treatment and observation. Unfortunately, he
tested positive for Hepatitis-C and began a more aggressive form of
treatment. He was promoted to Lieutenant on September 18, 1998 and
continued to work until early 2003 when his illness progressed to the
point where he could no longer perform his duties. He was placed on an
organ donor list for a new liver, which he received in May 2003 because
his condition had become so grave. In spite of the best efforts of the
medical community and the brave fight waged by Lt. Bennett and his
family,
he succumbed to his injuries on November 2, 2003.
