Popular Firefighter passes

Last Thursday, "Freddy" Figueredo, 61, passed after a long bout with cancer. He was surrounded by family, friends, firefighters and his beloved "movie people." Freddy leaves behind a wife and teenage son. Fire

Freedie was the medic on tv sets. He was known by all the South Florida crews.
