Fire Fighter Brad Harper and his partner on ambulance Rescue 21 were dispatched to a mulch farm fire. As they were dressing into firefighting gear at the sides of their fire ambulance, a fire truck was repositioning back down the narrow dirt road and Brad was pinned between the two trucks.

Crews worked to extricate and free Brad, and gave him care during transport. He died several hours later at the hospital.

Brad was born January 16, 1990 in Illinois, and is buried at Greenwood Firefighters cemetery by the Bell Tower. His grave is marked with a red cross during the annual Fallen Fire Fighter Memorials each January.
