DALLAS — Tom White stood in Oakland Cemetery on Saturday morning as sweat cascaded down his brow. As one of several volunteers who helped Dallas Fire-Rescue find and restore the gravesites of eight fallen firefighters, he recalled the difficult work of recent months.
“The vines were a trap, encasing all markers,” White said. “The graves themselves were buried in brush.”
In the afternoon, dozens of Station 44 firefighters, the retiree honor guard, color guard and families of the fallen men attended a service in their memory. The ceremony came shortly after the deaths of Dallas firefighter Stanley Wilson and Capt. Kenny Harris.
