Westchester firefighter was 35
I guess in a sense this is a crime, even though it was a terrible accident. Here's an update on what I covered this afternoon. The info comes from Brian Humphrey, an LAFD spokesman:
The firefighter killed Wednesday afternoon in an explosion in Westchester was identified as Brent A. Lovrien, 35, a 10-year veteran of the LAFD. He was assigned to Fire Station 95 near Los Angeles International Airport since October 2005. He died at Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center, Marina Campus.
No word yet on whether he had a family.
The other injured firefighter, Engineer Anthony J. Guzman, 48, an 18-year veteran of the LAFD, underwent surgery at UCLA Medical Center in Westwood. He was reported in serious but stable condition with multiple fractures and facial trauma.
Guzman has worked at the Westchester station since 2002
