UPDATED 1900: It is with deep regret that the Loudoun County Department of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Management and the Loudoun Career Fire Fighters Association, IAFF Local 3756 report the passing of Lieutenant Alex John Keepers.
Around 0430 AM, Monday, December 31, Keepers was involved in an automobile accident on the Point of Rocks Bridge while on his way to work. Icy road conditions may have contributed to the accident, which is under investigation by the Maryland State Police.
Lt. Keepers joined the Department in January 2002 as a member of Recruit Class 6. Upon completion of the Recruit Academy in June 2002, Keepers was assigned to Arcola Fire-Rescue Station 9. Working his way up through the ranks, Keepers was promoted to Lieutenant in July 2007 and was assigned to Middleburg Fire-Rescue Station 3. He is survived by his parents, two brothers and two sisters.
"A loss of this magnitude, affects our entire family," stated Loudoun County Fire-Rescue Chief Joseph Pozzo. "Alex was a valued member of our family and will be sorely missed by all who knew and worked with him".
Lt. Keepers was also a long-time volunteer member of the Independent Hose Company in Frederick, Maryland.
The Loudoun Career Fire Fighters Association extends our deepest sympathy to Lieutenant Keepers' family.
A memorial fund has been established at the Leesburg BB&T; the name on the account is the "Loudoun Career Fire Fighters Association Alex Keepers Memorial Fund."
