Chief Baxter was the first paid Chief in Philadelphia. He is accredited with 9 confirmed saves, was injured in the performance of duties multiple times, including a wall collapse. He was a tough iron lunged fireman. And a great man of faith. May he rest in peace.

Brushfire has returned to quarters and is ready for service.
