Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Statement Line of Duty Death Incident In Bel Air

6th January 2015


Early in the day, the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Department released a preliminary statement – then later in the day, after the family had been notified, the department released the name of the line of duty death to be that of Paramedic Erik Steciak, 29. Paramedic Steciak was a paid EMS employee who worked for the BAVFC since December 2011.

The Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company regrets to announce the line of duty passing of Paramedic Erik Steciak, 29. Paramedic Steciak was a paid EMS employee who worked for the BAVFC since December 2011.

He was also an active member of the West Friendship Volunteer Fire Company in Howard County, MD where he served as Captain and paramedic.

The Board of Directors, Officers and Members of the BAVFC express their sincerest condolences to Erik’s family and to the West Friendship VFC. Funeral services will be posted once final arrangements are completed.

Earlier Statement:

1/6/14: At 1350hrs the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company was alerted for a motor vehicle collision with injury in the 300blk of Patterson Mill Rd.

It was reported that a vehicle had run off the roadway into an embankment and the injured subject was in a nearby residence.

On fire department arrival it was determined that the best access to the patient was via four wheel drive assist due to the extreme weather and driveway conditions. Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company Utility 373, a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD equipped with a snow plow responded for the four wheel drive request.

As the utility vehicle proceeded down the driveway it began to slide. At some point during the slide a member of the Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company, a paramedic provider, was struck by the utility.

He was treated at the scene and transported in grave condition to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a preliminary investigation into this non traffic related fatality. Indications point to weather being a major factor in this incident.


Further information on the identity of the person involved will be released once family notifications are made. Media is asked to contact Rich Gardiner and/or Jenn Chenworth- Price for any questions.
