Forty years ago, today, April 16, 1980, West Lanham Hills Volunteer Fire Department lost one of its own. Active Life Member Thomas L. Graves, “Tommy,” was taken from us on Box 18-2, at 9923 Good Luck Road. Tommy was working at Glendale Station 18 as the Tower Driver when he responded on the call. While battling the fire at the garden apartment, an explosion occurred causing part of the building to collapse burying Tommy under the front brick wall. Thomas Graves paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life in service to his fellow man. He was the first career Firefighter of Prince George’s County Fire Department to be killed in the line of duty. Tommy laid in state at Station 28 before being laid to rest. God Bless Tommy and his family. ... See MoreSee Less

Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. A lovely tribute...

Tommy and Tucker Clark ran me around as a rookie and taught me what it was to be a firefighter. I used to go to the Village Pub to have a few beers with Tommy after work.

Very sad day. A couple weeks before that I measured him for a Class A uniform . He told me now they have something to bury me in.

Great guy remember that horrible day 😪👨‍🚒

My granddad was chief of glendale at the time and he would get upset every time is was mentioned. Rip

Rest in Peace Brother.

Good Man, thanks for posting. Let's not forget him!!!

Rest Easy Brother!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

I was on Truck 39 that day 🙁

That day changed my Dad for the rest of his life

Love and miss him always

Love you Tommy Honey!!

Awesome guy!!

RIP Sir🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
