Brenna Kulikowski & Damon Thompson, 2 Arizona firefighters killed in head on crash after car veered over center lines into their ambulance

A head-on crash in Arizona killed three people, including two firefighters, over the weekend.

The accident occurred Sunday night at 10.15 p.m., when an ambulance and another vehicle collided on State Route 260 between Heber-Overgaard and Show Low.

According to KTAR News, the passenger vehicle was heading westbound when it over the center line into the opposite lane and collided with a Timber Mesa Fire District ambulance near Show Low.

Officials identified the casualties inside the ambulance as Brenna Kulikowski, 31, a third-year firefighter and paramedic, and Damon Blaine Thompson, 21, who was only 15 days away from finishing his first year with the department.

Authorities had yet to say what led to the sole occupant driver of the other vehicle to cross the center lines.

Arizona firefighters remembered

Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District Chief Randy Chevalier remembered Kulikowski as a ‘such a compassionate person and a fantastic paramedic,’ according to Arizona Family.

Meanwhile, he said that according to Thompson’s parents, ‘Damon always wanted to be a firefighter and he was a dang good firefighter.’

‘Our entire organization is grieving the loss of our team members. We ask for privacy and compassion as we support the families, co-workers, and community during this very difficult time,’ TMFMD officials said in an earlier statement.

The White Mountain Firefighters Association has established a fundraiser to support both firefighters.

A GoFundMe has also been set up for Thompson along with a GoFundme for Kulikowski who leaves behind a 10 year old daughter.
