Biographical Comments
With deep sadness, the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department announces the Line-of-Duty Death of Captain Barry Maham on Monday, March 31, 2025, from occupational cancer.

Captain Maham was hired as a firefighter in 1999 and served with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department for 25 years. He was a dedicated member of the department’s urban search and rescue team, deploying to disasters both locally and around the world. He recently retired to focus on fighting repeated recurrences of cancer.

Captain Maham was an exceptional leader, mentor, and friend. He served the department with unwavering dedication that no doubt will have a lasting impact on the department and community.

His commitment to helping others extended beyond FCFRD. He volunteered with Veterans Fishing Adventures, a nonprofit dedicated to taking disabled veterans on free fishing trips.

A beloved and respected member of FCFRD, Captain Maham was surrounded by a strong network of family and friends. There is no doubt that he touched many lives, he will be greatly missed.

The men and women of Fairfax County Fire and Rescue extend our deepest condolences to Captain Maham’s family – wife, Amber, and children Bryce (wife Samantha and son Maverick), Makayla, Makenna, Brittian, and Trevor– as well as extended family, friends, and anyone whose life he touched.
