Chief Richard Pierce regretfully announces the Line of Duty Death of twenty one year veteran Firefighter Paul J. Roberts. Firefighter Roberts was a dedicated firefighter and family man. He will be remembered for his quiet, good nature and his unforgettable smile.

The thoughts and prayers of all of us at the Beverly Fire Department are with his family at this most difficult time.
