divWilliam Pop Padgett Sr. had Engine 281 dedicated to him a few years back. We were able to salvage not only the plaque but the diamond plate it was attached to. It was about the only part of Engine 281 not bent buckled or damage in the accident. This Plaque was mounted to the wall inside station 28 and now also severs as a memorial for us all to remember this incident. William Padgetts son Billy P Jr. nbspis also a Life Member and still remains active with the department. nbspnbspdivpp
