Captain John A. Brenckle Forever Remembered
Amy Warrick, daughter of Ross Township Fire Police Captain John A. Brenckle and Life Member of Berkeley Hills Fire Company, received a call from the Public Safety Officers Benefits (PSOB) in Washington D.C. advising her that her dad will have his name placed on the National Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial in Emmitsburg, Md. Captain Brenckle, as many of you reading this article will remember, died “In Line of Duty Death” caused by working traffic in the ravaging floodwaters of Hurricane Ivan on September 17, 2004. In addition to working traffic in Ross Township, Captain Brenckle also dedicated his services to the Boroughs of Millvale and Etna, who were devastated by the floodwaters.
To achieve this successful decision required a tremendous amount of passion, dedication and determination by a small group of people lead by his daughter Amy Warrick. They persisted for well over four years by attending hearings, gave many depositions, tremendous amount of communications, sought out political support and professional medical opinions only to receive one denial after another. Finally the fruits of their efforts were rewarded in achieving the recognition of the “In Line of Duty Death” of Captain Brenckle. On Sunday, October 4, 2009, Captain John A. Brenckle will have his name placed on the Memorial and his name will forever be remembered.
