Firefighter James Rice of the Peabody Fire Department has answered his last call. In an effort to ease someone else's pain, Firefighter Rice entered a burning building to do battle with an evil that knows nothing but destruction and rage, an evil that we often tempt fate against. On this day, that evil reached out and took Firefighter Rice from us. Godspeed brother, take your seat amongst the heroes that have gone before you and know that you have made a difference for those you leave behind.
