Chief Tom Adams - Shreveport Louisiana
Updated: Dec 12, 2009 6:05 PM
Injured Shreveport Fire Battalion Chief Tommy Adams died early Saturday morning.
Chief Adams passed away at 2:30 a.m. with his family, including wife Traci, and SFD Fire Chief Brian Crawford at his side. He had been in a relatively comatose state since February, when he suffered debilitating injuries from falling off a ladder truck while working the Krewe of Gemini Mardi Gras parade.
Fire Chief Brian Crawford said Adams' death will be classified as a line-of-duty death, and he will be buried with full firefighter honors sometime next week.
"On behalf of the City of Shreveport, Mayor Cedric Glover, myself and Tommy's entire fire department family we send our deepest sympathies to the Adams family," Chief Crawford said in a statement released Saturday, "and can never say enough about the sacrifice that Tommy made for this community in his 31 years of dedicated and decorated service."
