Tucson Firefighters Grieve the Sudden Loss of One of Their Own

TUCSON, AZ – The Tucson Fire Fighters Association is mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Firefighter Benjamin Call, who passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 26.

In a statement shared earlier today, the association expressed deep sadness and extended heartfelt condolences to his family.

“Our thoughts are with Firefighter Call’s family during this difficult time,” the statement read. “We ask for privacy as our department mourns the loss of one of our own.”

Firefighter Call was more than a colleague to many — he was a friend, a mentor, and a brother in service. Known for his dedication, kindness, and steady presence on and off duty, his passing has left a tremendous void within the department and the Tucson community he proudly served.

A GoFundMe has been created to support Firefighter Call’s family with expenses and to honor his memory. Those wishing to help can visit: https://gofund.me/757e06943.

As the Tucson Fire Department and the firefighting family across Arizona grieve, the community is coming together to remember a man who dedicated his life to helping others — even at great risk to himself.
