Little Rock Firefighters, On January 15, 2010 IAFF Local #34 honored two brother firefighters that were killed Jan. 15th, 1972 at 3rd and Main, during a collapse. The two brothers we lost that cold night were Jerry J. Jacobs age 29, Driver Truck 4 and Eric E. Oliver, age 30, Driver Engine 5. There were also 7 members injured during the collapse: Gene Tucker, Ray Cross, Tommy Allen, Phil Filiatreau, William Hallenbeck, Charles Gilmer, and James Penny.
Thanks to everyone that came out to help honor these two brothers. Thanks also to all the Honor/Color Guard that was a part of this great ceremony. Alan Tetkoskie of Local #35 did another wonderful job, Local #34 really appreciates him coming out to honor our fallen. Big Thank You to retired Capt. Johnny Reep for coming out and saying a few words about the fire/collapse that LRFD and Local #34 will never forget. (more photos are under the "photo gallery")
