Out of respect for the tragic Line of Duty Death of our brother Bobby “BK” Kilduff this week, and with funeral services possibly taking place during the same timeframe, the Boston Fire Relief Fund Memorial Street Hockey Tournament scheduled for Sunday, May 31 at Florian Hall has been postponed until further notice.

While we were all looking forward to a great day supporting the Relief Fund and honoring our fallen brothers, right now our focus remains where it belongs — standing together as a department and supporting the family, friends, and members affected by this heartbreaking loss.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding, support, and continued interest in the tournament. A new date and additional information will be shared as soon as possible.

Please keep our fallen brother, his family, and all Boston Fire members in your thoughts and prayers.

Last night, the Boston Fire Department and our entire fire service family suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Rescue 2 firefighter Bobby Kilduff while battling a fire in Dorchester.

Bobby was more than just a firefighter. He was a Marine Corps veteran, a dedicated union brother, a proud Boston firefighter for 24 years, and a man who spent his life serving others. Born in 1972, Bobby responded to thousands of incidents over his career with Rescue Company 2, one of the busiest companies in the city. He understood the danger of this job and faced it head-on every single tour.

But beyond the helmet and turnout gear, Bobby was a father first. He loved his children more than anything in this world. Whether it was family trips to Disney, time spent together, or simply being there for them, his children were his pride and joy.

Bobby also cared deeply about the union and the brotherhood of the fire service, following in the footsteps of his father, who dedicated his own life to the profession before tragically losing his battle with occupational cancer years ago. We pray Bobby is now reunited with his dad and watching over his children, his family, and all of us still answering the call.

This loss is hitting hard. It reminds every firefighter and every family connected to this profession just how dangerous this job truly is. We all know the risks, but sometimes life changes in an instant and brings that reality crashing back home.

Please keep Bobby’s family, friends, fellow firefighters, and the members of Local 718 and the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, brother.
You served your city with honor and courage.
You will never be forgotten.

🔥 Yesterday, our team took on 26.2 miles through the streets of Boston — and they crushed it. Huge congratulations to every runner who crossed that finish line. The miles you logged, the early mornings you put in, and the heart you showed out there represent everything the BFD Relief Fund stands for.

But race day is never just about the runners. We want to give an equally massive thank you to our volunteers who kept everything running smoothly, our sponsors whose generosity makes this mission possible, and every single person who donated, shared our posts, or lined the course to cheer us on. You are the backbone of this team.

We are so proud of this community. See you at the finish line again next year. 👊
