Edward Gaicki, a six-year firefighter and paramedic, had gone into a commercial building to search for people and fight a massive four-alarm blaze when the roof collapsed on him, and he died. He had been nominated for the Tempe Jaycees’ Outstanding Young Firefighter Award of the Year just five days before his death.
This man did something heroic and deserves to be remembered, both online and in the station. His sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
