Firefighter Eric Speed was only 33 years old and a 12 year member of
the CFD 2, when he died Friday March 28, 2008. Eric was
answering a mutual aid call with Caddo Fire District 1 to a mobile
home fire when the tanker he was driving left the roadway, struck a tree,
and rolled over into a ditch. He was trapped in the wreckage for 45
minutes. The Shreveport Fire Department and other fire districts sent units to assist
in his extrication, and when removed he was airlifted by
Life Air Rescue to LSUMC where he was pronounced DOA. Eric leaves
behind four children. A memorial fund has been established and
donations can be made:
