Our Prayers and condolences to FFPM Cortez’s Family and @sffdlocal798 Family for their loss. RIP Brother Cortez. Repost from @sffdlocal798 - It is with a heavy heart that we announce the loss of one of our own. This morning, the San Francisco Fire Department lost one of our own in a Line of Duty Death. Jason Cortez was a beloved 13-year veteran with the SFFD who tragically lost his life at the age of 42. He began his career as a member of Station 49 serving the City on an am...bulance before transferring over to become a Firefighter/Paramedic assigned to Fire Station 3. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones, especially his two young children. San Francisco Firefighters mourn the loss of our brother and we are committed to doing everything in our power to support the Cortez family in the days, months, and years to come. #sffd #sanfrancisco #family #restinpeace
