Rest in Paradise
Fireman Consolacio

DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY:

July 19, 1925

CAUSE OF DEATH:

On-Duty Electrocution
IN MEMORANDUM:

A large tree, its roots loosened by a minor earthquake, fell from an embankment in Alum Rock Park near the interurban car tracks, bringing down the trolley wire and an 11,000 volt feeder circuit which was broken at several points.

Sparks from the fallen wires started a ten-acre grass fire. Trying to put it out, two passersby were killed by accidental contact with the high voltage line. A fire alarm was turned in, and Chemical Co. No. 6 responded from five miles away at 17th and Santa Clara Streets (today’s Engine 8 headquarters)

Unaware of the electrical hazard (the earlier victims having been removed by rescuers), Fireman Consolacio was using a chemical line on the fire when the stream contacted the down wires. He was killed instantly by the electrical current.
