Rest in peace Jefferey!
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A 28-year-old Birmingham firefighter has
died while serving with the U.S. Army in support of Operation Iraqi
Freedom, military officials said Thursday.
Jefferey J. Farrow died Tuesday in Kuwait of non-combat related
injuries, the Department of Defense said Thursday.
He was assigned to the Army Reserve's 146th Quartermaster
Company in Fort Totten, N.Y.
Assistant Chief Ivor Brooks, of the Birmingham Fire and Rescue
Service, said Farrow had been a member of the department since
February 2002. He was not married, Brooks said.
Mayor Bernard Kincaid said flags at all city buildings would be
flown at half-staff in honor of Farrow.
The soldier was called to active duty on Oct. 15, 2004,
according to a press release from the mayor's office.
