1. Jerry Chapman was born April 7, 1987 in Pampa, TX, and was a firefighter for Abbott Volunteer Fire Department. In his West Memorial eulogy, Chapman’s parents said he was blessed with a kind spirit from childhood onward – a child who had been unique in his love for helping people from the beginning. He was a hard worker, and was ultimately able to discover his passion for service through the Abbott Volunteer Fire Department. This is what inspired him to return school to become a certified emergency medical technician.

Waco firefighters responded to a fire alarm around 2 p.m. Thursday at Carroll Science Hall.

Chad Moegelin, a firefighter on the scene, said the alarm was triggered by dust on the system’s sensors.
