Remembering our fallen brother Tommy Graves today.

On April 16th, 1980 (38 years ago) Tommy ran a box alarm on Goodluck Rd when an explosion occurred on arrival that leveled the front wall of the garden apartment building which also took the life of life member Tommy Graves.

Tommy laid in state at Station 28 before being laid to rest.

God bless Tommy and his family. ... See MoreSee Less

My Uncle Tommy, may he RIP....💕

A day I will never forget.

😇🙏

Tommy was a great firefighter at Co.28 . I remember him sharing his knowledge, and yet had a cheerful and carefree nature around the department. It was a sad day when Truck 28 rolled up on the scene, only to witness the three story gas explosion while Tommy was ventilating the windows on side 1. Rest In Peace Brother, you will never be forgotten.

Seems like yesterday and years ago all at the same time! Continue to rest in eternal peace Tommy!

RIP Tommy. Thank You for some great memories. I just wish your son got to know you! 😔🌹

He was a wonderful husband and father, he will be missed always

Rest In Peace Tommy. Keep a watchful eye on your brothers and sisters still doing the job.

I remember that day well. My Dad was off that day, as soon as he heard it on the fire radio at home, he knew immediately it was Tommy. RIP.

RIP Tommy

I had measured him for a class A uniform one week before he died. He made a comment to me now they have something to bury me in.

Rest In Peace

Tommy was a great Guy and always had a smile on his face.

R.I.P. MY BROTHER

Miss him always
