The Vacaville Fire Department is mourning the loss of one of their own, Bryden Nadasdy, following an off-duty motorcycle accident. Nadasdy, who held the post of Code Enforcement Technician, was reported by the department to have died in the incident that occurred last Friday. The accident occurred on Vaca Valley Parkway just west of Browns Valley Road, as reported by the Vacaville Fire Department.
The California Highway Patrol is actively investigating the crash details involving only a single motorcycle. Nadasdy is said to have been traveling at high velocity before losing control, although alcohol has been ruled out as a contributing factor, according to CBS News. In their dedication to transparency and the grieving process, the City of Vacaville has opened its doors for employee counseling, and arrangements for media inquiry have been explicitly outlined.
Bryden Nadasdy was more than an employee; he was a local community member deeply invested in his service since March 21, 2022. "He served with the highest level of dedication and commitment, and his loss is deeply felt by the fire department, the City, and the community," the Vacaville Fire Department stated. Nadasdy's death reverberates beyond the parameters of the department, touching lives throughout the city.
The community and Nadasdy's surviving family members, his mother and brother, are now mourning, reflecting on his contribution and the void his departure leaves. As a gesture of solidarity and support, the department extends its deepest sympathies to all who grieve in this moment of loss. The City remains steadfast in providing aid to employees during this challenging time, as validated by the fire department's public announcements.
