PAX Centurion - May / June 2013

www.bppa.org PAX CENTURION • May/June 2013 • Page 33 A lthough the weather was a seasonal 60 degrees, Detective TimO’Sullivan, performing a Paid Detail knew this was no rooftop BBQ. Rushing to the scene, he called for units and Boston Fire. With help on the way Detective O’Sullivan began to evacuate the home at 182 Beacon St, and the adjacent Brownstones. With the buildings cleared, BFD did what they do best, knocking down the blaze before it engulfed the building or spread to the surrounding neighborhood. Responding D-4 Units diverted traffic, and performed crowd control duties keeping curious on lookers and worried neighbors out of harm’s way. So, next time the Governor and his cronies target details, here’s another “anecdote” for them. A cop on detail rushed into danger and saved lives and property. Detective Tim O’Sullivan, District 4, did not hesitate, and should be congratulated on his response and bravery. Details saves lives – literally! By P.O. Jay Moccia (text/photos)
