On March 21, 2026, Deputy Steven Bruner from the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office (Florida) passed away after suffering a medical emergency shortly after a shift ended.
Deputy Bruner had just worked tirelessly assisting with evacuations during a fire, putting the safety of others before himself. Deputy Bruner was described as the person who would step up to help anyone without a second thought. Selfless, dedicated, and truly one of a kind.
The fire had ravaged over 500 acres, evacuating over 100 people, destroying 15 dwellings and 7 outbuildings, leaving at least 43 displaced people.
Our prayers and condolences to Deputy Bruner's family both at home and with the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
