With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Fire Apparatus Engineer Danny Cook—a devoted firefighter, trusted colleague, cherished friend, and loving family member. Danny proudly served the Cal Fire Riverside community on Q90, embodying courage, compassion, and selflessness in every call. He consistently put the safety of others first, often at great personal risk.

While actively engaged in a structure fire in the community of Nuevo, Danny suffered a sudden medical emergency. He immediately received lifesaving measures, but tragically, he passed away.

Beyond the uniform, Danny was known for his kind heart, strong leadership, sense of humor, and deep dedication to his family and fellow firefighters. He was a mentor to many and a source of strength and camaraderie within the fire service. Danny leaves behind his loving family, including three beautiful children, and a legacy of service and sacrifice that will never be forgotten.

This donation page has been created to support the Cook family during this incredibly difficult time. Contributions will help with funeral and memorial expenses, support for Danny’s children, and honoring his legacy of service.

Please consider donating if you are able, and sharing this page with friends, family, and members of the community. Your support, love, and prayers mean more than words can express.
