Brianne Maurine Fry

Brianne "Brie" Maurine Fry, a dedicated and compassionate individual who served as a member of the Dallas Rescue, Stanley Rescue, and Ranlo Fire and Rescue, has left an indelible mark on the lives of many. Born on March 16, 1997, in Montgomery County, Maryland, she displayed an unwavering commitment to her vocation and a genuine love for those she cared for.
