Fire Capt Tedmund Hall
Los Angeles County Fire Department
My Hero
Capt. Tedmund "Ted" Hall was killed Aug. 30, 2009 when their truck plunged off a mountain road as they were trying to find an escape route for dozens of inmate-firefighters whose camp had become overrun by flames.
Hall is survived by Kathy and sons Randall and Steven.
Ted loved being a firefighter, regardless of title, serving with the Los Angeles County Fire Department for 27 years.
Ted was known as a hard-working friend, a loyal Captain, and an exceptional mentor.
He loved the brethren of the department, and took pride in serving with dedication and professionalism. He will be remembered most by his family and his crew as one of the greatest men they've ever known.
