Charlotte Fire mourns the loss of Odessa Fire Rescue Lieutenant Isai Huerta, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty while battling a residential trailer fire in Odessa, Texas.
Lieutenant Huerta, 29, was among firefighters operating at a working fire Sunday evening when conditions rapidly deteriorated. Three firefighters were injured and transported to the hospital for treatment. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, Lt. Huerta succumbed to his injuries.
A nine-year member of Odessa Fire Rescue, Huerta was remembered by those who served alongside him as a firefighter who was always willing to help, always had a positive attitude, and genuinely loved serving his community.
Our hearts are with the Huerta family, the members of Odessa Fire Rescue, and all those affected by this tragic loss. We stand in solidarity with them as they honor Isai's life, service, and ultimate sacrifice.
