It was a year ago when the Memphis Fire Department responded to a house fire in south Memphis, and lost one of its own in the line of duty.
Lt. Jeffrey Norman was trapped inside the home while fighting the fire on June 18, 2023 and lost his life. Three other firefighters were injured.
The next day the MFD announced that the fire had started in a dumpster in front of the home’s carport and that the fire was a case of arson.
The case remains unsolved and CrimeStoppers continues to seek tips that will lead to an arrest. An award of $9,000 is available in the case to anyone who calls 528-CASH (2274) with information that helps authorities make an arrest.
