Volunteer Firefighter Eric Speed was only 33 years old and a 12 year member of the Caddo Parish Fire District 2, when he died Friday March 28, 2008. Eric was answering a mutual aid call with Caddo Parish Fire District 1 to a mobile home fire when the tanker he was driving left the roadway, struck a tree, and rolled over into a ditch. He was trapped in the wreckage for 45 minutes. The Shreveport Fire Department and other fire districts sent units to assist in his extrication, and when removed he was airlifted by Life Air Rescue to LSUMC where he was pronounced DOA. Eric leaves behind four children. A memorial fund has been established.
