Fallen Cincinnati firefighter's plaque now hangs at department's HQ
Daryl Gordon died at 2015 fire scene
Another tribute was made to the service and sacrifice of Cincinnati Firefighter Daryl Gordon.
A memorial plaque was unveiled Monday outside the downtown firehouse where he spent most of his career.
It바카라 게임 웹사이트s been more than a year since Gordon died during an apartment fire in Madisonville, but it was made clear at fire headquarters that he is not and will not be forgotten.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We ask that you always bless those civil servants, those who put their lives on the line so that we may have the freedom to live in safety and protection,바카라 게임 웹사이트 fire chaplain Rev. Royce Winters said.
Mayor John Cranley pointed to Gordon바카라 게임 웹사이트s life of service as part of his legacy.
바카라 게임 웹사이트That should be all of our goal: to give more to this world than we take from this world, and we know that Daryl did that,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Cranley said.
Last March, the 30-year veteran firefighter was helping to search the King Towers Apartments when he encountered an elevator door that wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t locked securely.
In the heavy smoke, Gordon pulled it open and fell down the shaft.
Gordon바카라 게임 웹사이트s daughter Angelique got the honor of unveiling the plaque that now hangs outside Station 14.
His family, both personal and professional, stood together to remember him.
Chief Richard Braun says the Cincinnati Fire Department has continued to stand by Gordon바카라 게임 웹사이트s family.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We have people that watch out for them. If something바카라 게임 웹사이트s needed around the house, if the grass needs cut, anything. Then we바카라 게임 웹사이트re there to help,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Braun said.
As much as his life is part of his legacy, his death is, too.
He is already having an impact on training and protecting more lives.
Both Braun and fire union president Matt Alter said Gordon바카라 게임 웹사이트s death is being used as a teaching aid that will hopefully prevent future accidents.
바카라 게임 웹사이트There바카라 게임 웹사이트s going to be time to dive into that, but I think today is a day that we get to remember Daryl, be here for the family, and we바카라 게임 웹사이트ll make sure we dive into it and do him justice and do his family right,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Alter said.
