The Prince George's County Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department is deeply saddened and mourning the death of a 23-year old member of the Bladensburg Volunteer Fire Department and a career member of the Baltimore City Fire Department.
Nicholas Hemingway was serving as a paramedic with the Baltimore City Fire Department, a position he held since being hired in November 2014. After completing his shift on Tuesday, July 14 and preparing to leave his work site, he experienced an unknown medical episode that put him into cardiac arrest.
Despite the very best efforts of everyone who worked to revive him, Hemingway passed away at Mount Sinai Hospital in Baltimore on Friday, July 17. Members of the Baltimore City and Bladensburg Volunteer Fire Departments stood a constant vigil at his bedside since Tuesday.
Bladensburg Volunteer Chief Randy S. Kuenzli posted this message about the passing of Nicholas Hemingway:
