The Berkeley Fire Department is mourning the loss of one of its own, a veteran firefighter, a beloved husband and father of three. Fire Captain Scott Hall died on Friday at the age of 56. The fire department said Hall passed away at home and that his death was “sudden and unexpected.” Officials did not release any details about his cause of death.
“Scott served the citizens of Berkeley, California with honor and distinction for 33 years,” the department said in a statement released to KTVU. On Sunday, Hallโs family announced his passing on social media, saying their hearts are broken.
Wife Laura Hall said he was “An amazing husband, incredible father to our children, beloved brother, uncle and son, cherished by his fire family and the countless friends he surrounded himself with.” The late fire captain leaves behind his wife of 23 years and three adult children, ages 21, 28, and 30.
