Fire engines from across Los Angeles County, including Glendale and LA County Fire, lined the overpasses of the Foothill (210) freeway this afternoon to honor a fallen comrade.

Capt. David Bailey, 50, died while exercising at Camp 14 in Saugas.  He was an 18-year veteran of LA County Fire Department. Firefighters stood at attention as the hearse carrying his body and the fire department procession, traveled passed beneath them.

Bailey’s body was being transported from Burbank to Santa Clarita.
