City of Allen Park recently issued the following announcement.
PLEASE READ AND ATTEND IF POSSIBLE....CHIEFS...If your department can spare a piece of apparatus please send one.
On March 1, 2021, Madison Heights Fire Captain, Jeff Brozich died on duty. He had a heart attack.
Sadly, 45 percent of firefighters' on-duty deaths are due to cardiovascular events. It is the leading cause of death for firefighters.
Jeff worked out everyday. He was serious about exercise and diet. It was quit a surprise, when he died from a cardiac event. Something was not right.
His wife Lindsay Brozich wanted to make sure that no other firefighter or police officer would have a cardiac issue and they would not know it. Lindsay and several of her friends and family started a foundation to provide free calcium scoring tests for firefighters and police.
We want to invite firefighters and police departments to support our own and to kickoff off this new foundation:
Madison Heights Fire Department
Headquarters Fire Station #1
31313 Brush Street
Madison Heights, MI 48071
3/1/22
10:00 - 10:30
Please wear your uniform and department vehicles are welcome.
The kickoff for the new foundation is on the same exact day that Jeff died.
Thank you
