Devastated by the death of Linda. She was a trailblazer in her field fighting institutionalized sexism and discrimination.
After acquiring a job-related terminal brain cancer, she spent the last years of her life fighting the city for disability benefits that were initially denied.

UPDATE:
WHYY News has learned that Linda Long, 60, the first female Battalion Chief of the Philadelphia Fire Department, died March 3, 2025. We featured her battle with brain cancer in our reporting on the health risks firefighters face on the job.

Firefighting is already a dangerous job. Now, there’s another grave risk: cancer
Philadelphia’s first female battalion chief, Linda Long, retired in 2023 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. She thinks it’s linked to years of toxic exposures.
