Young fire victim meets firemen who saved him




On the morning of Monday, April 1, 2013, two children were trapped in a house fire at 2014 Rawlings St. Chattanooga firefighters forced their way into the house, found both young boys, and carried them out. Tragically, one of the boys did not survive. The other, Tyler Jackson, was flown to the burn center in Augusta, GA, for treatment of his severe burns. His recovery will be a long-term, ongoing process. Recently, Tyler’s grandmother, Georgetta Jackson, asked if Tyler, now two years old, could meet the firefighters who saved him. The reunion took place Monday, Dec. 9 at Station 5 on South Willow Street.
