Keith Norman: The Ultimate Sacrifice

The Ultimate Sacrifice  – My Guest, Keith Norman, Retired Memphis Firefighter. “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” ~ John 15:13 It can go without saying that some jobs carry certain risks and when you choose those jobs it is important to consider the “what if’s”.  Being a firefighter on a busy department means that you are going to face dangers much more often.  This can actually be a benefit sometimes because you will gain a ton of experience in a short amount of time, but it can also be a detriment, because you will be put in difficult situations much more often My guest this week not only faced those dangers on a regular basis, but he had family that worked alongside him on the same department.  Jeffrey and Keith were only separated by a few years and as the years went by, Jeffrey found himself following the path of his older brother. Keith had been on the job for several years prior to Jeffrey joining.  It just so happened that Jeffrey and I came on Memphis together and got to know each other during fire school.  After we both graduated from fire school we were assigned to fire station 10 on South Parkway.  It was only 3 months after being assigned there that my Lieutenant was killed in the Frayser Dollar Store fire.  There was no way to know at that time how so many things would suddenly become intertwined. Keith shares what life was like after his brother being killed on the job and how his brother’s last act on this earth was to shield his guy from the collapsing roof.  Jeffrey’s action saved a fellow firefighter that day and Memphis lost one of the good ones.
