On the evening of Saturday May 23, 2026 signal 5-5-5-5 was sent announcing the line of duty death of Boston Firefighter Robert Kilduff Jr. of Rescue 2. FF Kilduff was a 24 year veteran of the Boston Fire Dept. and had served his country in the United States Marine Corp. FF Kilduff gave his life protecting the people of Boston at a 3rd alarm fire in Dorchester. Besides his brothers and sisters of the Boston Fire Dept. he leaves behind an extended family including his two children. FF Kilduff comes from a legacy family of well-known and respected firefighters. On this Memorial Day please keep his soul, his peers and family in your thoughts. Arrangements are incomplete at time of this posting. Gov. Healey has ordered the US Flags to be flown at half-staff until the sunset of the day of his funeral. Sudbury Fire would like to extend our most profound sympathies to the family of FF Kilduff and all of the Boston Fire Department. RIP BK.
