Bruno: Loss of a Fire Service Icon

摘要

THE FIRE SERVICE WORLD WAS stunned and deeply saddened by the death of Chief (Ret.) Alan Brunacini of the Phoenix (AZ) Fire Department on October 15. A beloved mentor, instructor, author, and motivator, his influence on and contributions to the fire service were expansive and far-reaching. We at Fire Engineering and FDIC International were honored to have him as a member of our family as the longtime author of the "Bruno 'Unplugged'" column and as co-host of the popular FDIC International Big Room Session "Bruno and Norman 'Unplugged.'" He also was a member of the Fire Engineering and FDIC International Educational Advisory Boards and the recipient of the 2001 Tom Brennan Lifetime Achievement Award.
