Fallen member Notification – Firefighter Jordan Melton

Peace and Blessings All,

It is with great sorrow that I am notifying of the passing of Firefighter Jordan Melton, one of two Birmingham Firefighters shot last week at a fire station in the city’s Norwood community.  Jordan had served at Birmingham Fire and Rescue for more than a year, he had just graduated from the recruit academy one month ago.   Firefighter Jamal Jones also was shot and is recovering.  However, Jones has suffered severe injuries because of the incident.  I am providing the following information to support our Chapter in Birmingham, AL.  President Harold Washington (Birmingham Professional Firefighters Association) has provided the following information:

There has been a “GoFundMe” page set up to support the Firefighters and their families:
