Dale Lockett was fighting a roaring house fire, ventilating the attic when the roof collapsed, trapping him. Despite rescue efforts, paramedics could not revive him.
This firefighter line of duty fatality occurred before the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial was built in Emmitsburg, Maryland. While this firefighter has not been officially honored at the Memorial site, there are plans to do so when resources are available.
