Fire Departments throughout Nebraska may be faced with one of the most difficult tasks of being involved in a Line of Duty Death of one of their own! One of the most burdensome questions the department must decide upon is, what type of funeral honors are appropriate for the fallen. In planning, the primary consideration must be given to the family first, and the department second. Having a department SOG will help in the planning of these Honors.

The Nebraska Serious Injury and Line of Duty Death Response Team is available 24/7 to answer questions or assist in Honoring the Fallen. The Response Team has members who have been trained on funeral planning and benefits for the family.

The Nebraska Serious Injury & Line of Duty Death Response Team is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nebraska. It is qualified as a section 501 (c) (3) charitable foundation entitling donors tax deductions for Federal Income.

President: J.R. Christiansen 402-618-7000.

Nebraska is blessed to have one of the most responsive LODD teams in the nation! The TEAM is ready to serve our fallen and their families in their worst of times.
