Jeffrey Holt, 60
Engine 36, City of Lawrence.

It is with great sadness that Lawrence Fire Department Chief Dino Batalis announces the death of Lawrence Firefighter Jeffrey Holt, age 60, on Monday, April 30, 2018, shortly after 10:00 am, while on duty in the City of Lawrence. Firefighter Holt had just completed his annual physical assessment training, that is a requirement for all firefighters. While still at Lawrence Fire Department station 38, 4450 McCoy St, Firefighter Holt suffered a medical episode, likely cardiac-related, that despite the tremendous efforts of medics and firefighters at the scene, and after being transported to the Indiana Heart Hospital, he did not survive.
Firefighter Holt was hired as a full time Lawrence firefighter in 1996. During his career with the Lawrence Fire Department, Jeff served as an Engineer, Lieutenant, Division Chief of Training, and a Deputy Chief of Operations. He was currently assigned to the engine company at Lawrence Fire Station 36, anticipating his retirement. The Lawrence Fire Department has 83 full-time firefighters, and 15 full-time medics, on staff. According to Chief Batalis, this is the first firefighter Line of Duty Death experienced by the Lawrence Fire Department.

Firefighter Holt was well-respected by his fellow firefighters and EMS personnel. His family and friends are in the thoughts and prayers of his brothers and sisters on the City of Lawrence Fire Department, along with his extended public safety family. Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier has ordered all flags at City of Lawrence facilities lowered to half-staff, in respect and honor to Firefighter Holt.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former state Fire Marshal Roger Johnson. Roger was a part of the Indiana fire service for over 50 years. As Indiana Fire Marshal he emphasized training in the the fire service. He also worked to bring different factions of the fire service together so we now speak with a stronger voice in the halls of the Statehouse. God bless you Roger, rest in peace.
