Joe Hoffman
Little Rock Fire Department - June 7, 1936
In the early morning house of June 7, 1936, Engine 9's crew leaped from their beds for a fire alarm at the E.L. Bruce Lumber Company. All members of the company had slid the pole, except Hoffman, who tripped and fell head first through the pole hole onto the concrete engine room floor. He was taken to St. Vincent Infirmary where he died at 4:45 am. He began working for LRFD April 12, 1929.
