A Fireman Died Tonight by William Manchee Wednesday, February 13, 2002 Share Print Save Become a Fan A Fireman Died Tonight I heard it on the news And sadness filled my heart Dallas’ first in fifteen years A fireman died tonight His Station 26 was manned So to 33 they sent this devoted man The victim of a vicious twist of fate A Fireman died tonight Three alarms, then four and five Fire raged and wanted more Fire trucks and men at war A fireman died tonight Lined up before a wall They heard a deafening crack And, in horror, saw the wall collapse A fireman died tonight A widow and five children mourn Their husband and father lost And wonder why the Lord chose this day A fireman died tonight
Vincent Davis, a Dallas fireman died Monday, February 11, 2002 fighting a fire at the Creekside Apartments
