Statement from Governor Carney:
“Most people run away from danger. And then there are an elite few who run toward dangerous situations to help others. Thomas Berry was one of those people, making the ultimate sacrifice to help a neighbor in need. Tracey and I are praying for Mr. Berry’s family, friends, coworkers in Sussex County, and fellow volunteers at the Georgetown and Ellendale fire companies.”
