The officers and members of CPFA extend our profound condolences to our brothers and sisters in Richlandtown Fire Company, Richlandtown (Bucks County), Pennsylvania, on the LODD of Fire Police Officer Todd Koch.

It is with profound sadness that the Richlandtown Fire Company announces the Line of Duty Death (LODD) of Fire Police Officer Todd Koch.

Fire Police Officer Koch suffered a severe respiratory attack while responding to an emergency call, which led to cardiac arrest on Monday, March 9, 2026. Despite immediate and continued lifesaving efforts, Todd passed away as a result of this medical emergency.

Todd was a dedicated and valued member of the Richlandtown Fire Company and served the community with commitment and pride. His willingness to answer the call to help others reflects the selflessness that defines the fire service.

The members of the Richlandtown Fire Company extend their deepest condolences to Todd’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. His loss is felt deeply throughout our department and the community he faithfully served.

We respectfully ask the public to keep Todd’s family, as well as the members of the Richlandtown Fire Company, in your thoughts and prayers.
