The Elkhart Fire Department has lost one of their own. In a post on Facebook, Elkhart Firefighters Local 338 announced that Captain Adam Kuspa passed away, this week, at the age of 41.

He served with the department for nearly two decades and was just promoted to Captain a few weeks ago.

The union says Kuspa exemplified bravery and compassion, responding to emergencies with unshakable resolve and a servant’s heart and that he left an indelible mark on everyone he met.
