Charlotte Fire is mourning the loss of Binghamton, New York Firefighter John Gaudet, who died tragically on February 12, 2025, in the line of duty. Gaudet was battling a large fire when a wall collapsed, resulting in critical injuries. Despite being rushed to Wilson Medical Center, he was pronounced dead.
